Abstract

A method and apparatus for reporting a maximum carrier power in a carrier aggregation scenario are disclosed. The method includes: a user equipment (UE) encapsulating a particular power headroom (PH) of an activated uplink component carrier (UL CC) and a particular maximum output power of a physical channel of the activated UL CC into a same power headroom report (PHR) and reporting the PHR to a base station (eNB). The method enables the eNB to acquire the power situation of the UE in time so as to perform scheduling more accurately.
