Abstract
The disclosed technology provides a system and method for allocating resource blocks to a wireless device based on a power headroom of the wireless device as contained in a power headroom report (PHR) from the wireless device. The network allocates wireless devices with the highest power headroom (e.g., power headroom above a certain power threshold) with edge resource blocks, wireless devices with the lowest power headroom (e.g. power headroom below a certain power threshold) with inner resource blocks, and other wireless devices with outer resource blocks.
