Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium facilitate network control by allowing a base station to predict when power class fallback will occur in user equipment. In the context of a method, the method receives a message comprising information about at least one of a first power class or a maximum duty cycle associated with user equipment. The method determines, based on at least the first power class or the maximum duty cycle, a threshold duty cycle for the user equipment. The method causes the threshold duty cycle to be transmitted to the user equipment. The method determines an uplink transmission schedule for the user equipment based at least on the first power class or the maximum duty cycle. The method receives, from the user equipment, a report that the threshold duty cycle has been exceeded by the user equipment.
