Claim 17:
18. A user agent (UA) comprising a memory device and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory device such that when executed, cause the access node to:
transmit, to an access node for a wireless telecommunications system, within a bitmap, power headroom-related information for a number of aggregated carriers that is less than or equal to a total number of aggregated carriers,
wherein the power headroom-related information comprises one of power headroom and path loss information, for at least one of the aggregated carriers, and
wherein each bit in the bitmap corresponds to one of the aggregated carriers, one value in the bitmap indicating that the power headroom-related information for a corresponding carrier is being transmitted, and another value in the bitmap indicating that the power headroom-related information for a corresponding carrier is not being transmitted; and
receive information, from the access node, about a specified set of carriers for which the power headroom-related information is to be reported.
