Abstract

Systems, apparatus, user equipment (UE), evolved node B (eNB), and methods are described for generating an extended power headroom report (ePHR) based on an uncertainty associated with a physical downlink control channel communication granting an uplink grant for a physical uplink shared channel communication when the system is configured for simultaneous physical uplink shared channel and physical uplink control channel communications. Some embodiments are structured to generate the ePHR using a type 2 report regardless of the uncertainty associated with the ePHR, while other embodiments generate the ePHR using a reference format. In some embodiments, a UE communicates a timing field with a UE capability communication indicating whether the UE meets timing requirements to avoid uncertainty in ePHR communications.
