1. A method comprising:
- determining that a set of at east one triggering criterion is met; and
providing a power control headroom report on an uplink from user equipment, in response to determining that the set is met, wherein said at least one triggering criterion include at least one threshold having been reached, wherein said at least one threshold is adjustable via a signal to the user equipment, wherein the set of at least one triggering criterion comprises a criterion being met based on reaching a threshold of the at least one threshold of k transmission time intervals following a previous power control headroom report, wherein k is an integer and wherein said at least one threshold adjustable via the signal comprises adjusting the threshold integer k.

Abstract
A method, user equipment, network device, and software product enable a user equipment to determine that at least one of several triggering criterion have been met, in which case the user equipment provides a power control headroom report on an uplink from the user equipment. The triggering criterion includes a threshold having been reached, and the threshold is adjustable via a signal to the user equipment from a base station (such as an eNodeB).
