Method and apparatus for transmitting PUCCH with a lower A-MPR

摘要

A first applied Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) can be determined as the maximum of a first A-MPR and a second A-MPR if a device is configured for carrier aggregation. A second applied A-MPR can be determined as the maximum of a third A-MPR and a fourth A-MPR if the device is configured for transmission only on the primary cell. A transmitter can be configured for carrier aggregation transmission if the first applied A-MPR is less than or equal to the second applied A-MPR. The transmitter can be configured for transmission only on the primary cell if the second applied A-MPR is less than the first applied A-MPR. The uplink control channel can be transmitted with a power reduction no greater than the applied A-MPR for the selected transmitter configuration.
