The present invention relates to a power headroom control element for communicating power information from a user equipment (UE) to a base station (BS), a corresponding method, a method for processing received power information at a radio access network (RAN) as well as to a user equipment for communicating power information and a base station configured to process received power information, which particularly enable simple handling and processing of transmission power information, respectively. A power headroom control element is structured to comprise a power headroom field containing power headroom information and having a predetermined number of bits in the power headroom control element, and an indicator field associated with the power headroom field, wherein the indicator field serves to indicate whether a transmission power field with a predetermined number of bits is present in the power headroom control element. |
