Method and Apparatus for Determining That An Almost-Contiguous Resource Allocation A-MPR Applies To An Uplink Transmission

摘要

A method and apparatus determine that an almost-contiguous resource allocation Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) applies to an uplink transmission power. An indication of a resource allocation of resource blocks for a transmission can be received. The resource allocation can be ascertained to be a non-contiguous allocation of resource blocks. An almost-contiguous resource allocation Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) can be determined to apply to an uplink transmission power for the transmission. An almost-contiguous resource allocation can be defined as a contiguous resource allocation of resource blocks from which resource blocks are punctured and the punctured resource blocks are contained in a contiguous region overlapping a boundary between the lower frequency carrier and the adjacent upper frequency carrier. The punctured resource blocks can be resource blocks that are not allocated for the transmission. The transmission can be performed based on the uplink transmission power with the applied A-MPR.

1. A method comprising:
receiving an indication of a resource allocation of resource blocks for a transmission; ascertaining the resource allocation is a non-contiguous allocation of resource blocks, where a contiguous allocation of resource blocks is a resource allocation of consecutive resource blocks within a lower frequency carrier and an adjacent upper frequency carrier that is adjacent to the lower frequency carrier in the frequency domain; determining that an almost-contiguous resource allocation Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) applies to an uplink transmission power for the transmission,
where an almost-contiguous resource allocation is defined as a contiguous resource allocation of resource blocks from which resource blocks are punctured and the punctured resource blocks are contained in a contiguous region overlapping a boundary between the lower frequency carrier and the adjacent upper frequency carrier,where punctured resource blocks comprise resource blocks that are not allocated for the transmission; and performing the transmission based on the uplink transmission power with the applied A-MPR.
