These systems may be multiple-access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power) . Examples of such multiple-access systems include code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time-division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, and orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un rapport de marge de puissance amélioré pour une agrégation de porteuses de liaison montante. Un équipement utilisateur peut diviser des informations de marge de puissance pour multiples cellules ayant des liaisons montantes configurés en multiples rapports de marge de puissance partielles, comprenant chacun des informations de marge de puissance pour une ou plusieurs cellules. Les cellules peuvent être classées pour un rapport de marge par ordre de priorité de puissance en fonction de leurs déclencheurs de rapport de marge de puissance, leurs indices de cellule, ou d'autres critères. Multiples rapports de marge de puissance partiels peuvent être envoyés dans le même intervalle de temps de transmission et sur les mêmes porteuses ou sur des porteuses différentes. Un rapport de marge de puissance partiel peut comprendre un indicateur de troncature. Une station de base peut recevoir un rapport de marge de puissance et peut déterminer que les informations de marge de puissance sont partielles. La station de base peut fournir une autorisation supplémentaire pour les cellules non rapportées et/ou modifier un paramètre de transmission pour une transmission de liaison montante ultérieure.
