Abstract

Various methods are provided for triggering a power headroom report. One example method may include storing a first pathloss value and a second pathloss value for a first entity and a first pathloss value and a second pathloss value for a second entity, for each of the first entity and second entity, determining whether first pathloss value or second pathloss value has changed more than a corresponding threshold value, determining whether the UE has UL resources for a new transmission, and in an instance where, for at least one of the first entity or second entity, the first pathloss value or second pathloss value has changed (e.g., increased or decreased) more than the corresponding threshold value, triggering a PHR. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
