In a communication system, a user equipment (UE) usually needs to report a Power Headroom Report (PHR) to meet network scheduling requirements. In the related art, the UE reports the PHR based on a power control parameter and a trigger condition for triggering to report the PHR.
However, when the UE is configured to support the multiple Transmission Reception Point (TRP) transmission, when the UE reports PHRs to the network, the network may not be able to know a relationship between the reported PHRs and different power control parameters, nor can it know a relationship between the TRPs and the PHRs, affecting uplink scheduling of the UE and resulting in ineffective allocation of network resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for reporting the PHR suitable for the Multi-TRP scenario.
In methods and devices for reporting a power headroom report (PHR), a user equipment (UE) and a storage medium according to embodiments of the disclosure, the UE will receive, from a base station, power control parameter(s) of one or more transmission reception points (TRPs) corresponding to at least one carrier and a reporting trigger condition corresponding to the one or more TRPs. Afterwards, the base station triggers a PHR reporting for a respective TRP corresponding to each carrier based on the power control parameter(s) and the reporting trigger condition. In this way, embodiments of the disclosure provide methods for reporting a PHR suitable for a multi-TRP scenario. In addition, in the methods according to embodiments of the disclosure, not only a respective power control parameter corresponding to each carrier is involved, but also a respective power control parameter corresponding to each TRP on each carrier is involved; and not only a reporting trigger condition based on power control parameter(s) corresponding to the carrier(s) is involved, but also a reporting trigger condition based on the power control parameter(s) corresponding to the TRP(s) on the carrier(s) is involved, thereby enhancing the configuration of the power control parameter and the reporting trigger condition.
Moreover, in embodiments of the disclosure, in reporting the PHR(s), one TRP will be selected for each carrier to report its respective PHR, and a variety of options are provided for the reporting content, such that the reporting content is enriched and enhanced without increasing the amount of reported data. At the same time, in embodiments of the disclosure, an identifier of the TRP is also reported when reporting the PHR, and thus the base station may know which TRP corresponds to the reported PHR, to better support dynamic scheduling under different conditions of different channels, realize precise power control and ensure effective allocation of network resources.
The methods and the devices for reporting a PHR, the UE, the base station, a core network device, and the storage medium according to the disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
At block 101, configuration information sent by a base station is received.
It is noteworthy that the method according to embodiments of the disclosure may be performed by any UE. The UE may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. The UE may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). The UE may be an Internet of Things (IoT) terminal, such as a sensor device and a mobile phone (or called a “cellular” phone), or the UE may be a computer having an IoT terminal, such as a fixed, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted device. For example, the UE may be station (STA), subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, or user agent.

At block 204, it is determined, based on the one or more power control parameters and the reporting trigger condition, whether the UE satisfies the reporting trigger condition; and the method proceeds to perform a block 205 when the UE satisfies the reporting trigger condition.
In one embodiment of the disclosure, when the UE satisfies the reporting trigger condition, it means that the PHR needs to be reported to the base station at present, and the block 205 is performed.
At block 205, for each carrier, a TRP is selected from multiple TRPs corresponding to the carrier.

The meanings of these fields are as follows:
Ci: This field indicates whether a PH field for the SCell with SCellIndex i is reported when one SCell is configured with SCellIndex through an RRC message. A value “1” of the Ci field indicates a PH field reported for the SCell configured with the SCellIndex i, while a value “0” of the Ci field indicates no PH field reported for the SCell configured with the SCellIndex i.
R: Reserved bit, set to “0”.
V: This field indicates whether the reported PH value is based on a real transmission or a reference format. For Type 1 PH, V=0 indicates the actual transmission on PUSCH, and V=1 indicates the use of the reference format of the PUSCH. For Type 2 PH, V=0 indicates the actual transmission on PUCCH, and V=1 indicates the use of the reference format of PUCCH. For Type 3 PH, V=0 indicates the actual transmission on SRS, and V=1 indicates the use of the reference format of SRS. In addition, for the Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 PH, V=0 indicates that the PCMAX, c field corresponding to a certain cell is included in the reporting format, and V=1 indicates that the PCMAX, c field corresponding to a certain cell is not included in the reporting format.
PH: This field indicates the power headroom level.
P: This field indicates whether the current MAC applies the power back-off mechanism. When there is no power back-off, the MAC entity sets P=1 when the PCMAX, c field corresponding to a cell has a different value.
MPE: This field indicates the maximum permissible exposure.
And, the types of PH include:
PPUSCH,c(i) is the transmit power of an uplink data channel (PUSCH) obtained by the UE based on the calculation. When the UE has an actual signal to send, its value is determined based on the channel power actually sent. When the UE has no actual signal transmission, its value is determined based on a reference (or virtual) channel power.
PPUCCH,c(i) is the transmit power of the uplink control channel (PUCCH) obtained by the UE based on the calculation. When the UE has an actual signal to send, its value is determined based on the channel power actually sent. When the UE has no actual signal transmission, its value is determined based on a reference (or virtual) channel power.
PSRS,c(i) is the transmit power of the uplink sounding reference channel (SRS) obtained by the UE based on the calculation. When the UE has an actual signal to send, its value is determined based on the actual sent channel power. When the UE has no actual signal transmission, its value is determined based on a reference (or virtual) channel power.
PCMAX,c: If present, this field indicates the value of PCMAX,c used for calculating the corresponding PH field, i.e., the maximum transmittable power calculated by the UE in this cell.
