Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A method implemented in a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
generating, by the communication apparatus in a communication system using component carrier aggregation, in which two or more component carriers (CCs) are aggregated, a power status report that includes: (i) a CC specific maximum transmission power, PCMAX,c, for each configured and activated uplink CC, wherein PCMAX,c shall be set within following bounds:

PCMAX_L,c<=PCMAX,c<=PCMAX_H,c, where PCMAX_L,c is a lower bound and PCMAX_H,c is a higher bound of a CC specific maximum transmission power, and (ii) a power headroom report indicative of a difference between the CC specific maximum transmission power, PCMAX,c, and an estimated UE transmit power, per each configured and activated uplink CC,
wherein the CC specific maximum transmission power, PCMAX,c, for each configured and activated CC is included in the power status report when a resource is allocated to the configured and activated uplink CC for the communication apparatus; and
transmitting, by the communication apparatus, the power status report to a base station.
