Patent ID: 10869284

Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for determining a per carrier additional maximum power reduction needed by the user equipment in order to meet emission requirements for dual carrier operation of adjacent carriers. A per carrier allowed additional maximum power reduction for each of the carriers is determined in the absence of the shared scheduling information between the adjacent carriers. The determination for each of the carriers for use with the different radio access technologies includes identifying for each carrier a worst case allocation for the other carrier that produces a largest total allowed maximum power reduction necessary for meeting emission requirements relative to a maximum allowed total power, and determining the total allowed maximum power reduction relative to the maximum allowed total power using the worst case allocation. A predetermined partition of the maximum allowed total power to allocate a fraction of the maximum allowed total power is applied to each of the carriers, where the predetermined partition is independent of the identified allocations, and the per carrier additional maximum power reduction is determined as a sum of the total allowed maximum power reduction and a negative of ten times a base ten logarithm of the fraction of the maximum allowed total power allocated to each carrier using the predetermined partition.
