In an embodiment, if the UE provides a Type 1 power headroom report in a first PUSCH transmission in a slot of a first serving cell, the power headroom report for a second serving cell may be based on an actual transmission (i.e., actual PHR) in the case that PUSCH repetition (via e.g., slot-aggregation as defined in NR Rel-15, or mini-slot repetition, or multi-segment transmission) may be transmitted on the second serving cell with at least one repetition of the PUSCH repetitions overlapping in time with the first PUSCH transmission in the first serving cell.
Conservative PHR Operation (First/Earliest DCI After PHR Trigger)
Embodiment 1: In one embodiment, the PHR cut-off time may be the same as in 5G NR Rel-15, i.e., the first/earliest DCI for an initial transmission after PHR trigger if PHR is transmitted on a dynamically scheduled PUSCH (or first symbol of CG-PUSCH minus PUSCH processing time as defined in [TS 38.214] if PHR is transmitted on a CG-PUSCH). It is understood that for this option, the UE may be allowed to choose a dynamically scheduled PUSCH for carrying the PHR that is not necessarily the earliest dynamically scheduled PUSCH after PHR trigger. Instead, a dynamically scheduled PUSCH that corresponds to the first DCI after PHR trigger (and is possibly transmitted later) may be used to transmit the PHR (provided there is no earlier CG-PUCSH transmission).
