First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining that a set of at least 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 a threshold having been reached.

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).
