Reason for change:  It has been agreed in RAN2 not to report Pcmax,c for virtual PHR as this Pcmax,c
value can anyway be calculated by the eNB. The existing V-bit of the Extended
PHR MAC CE, indicating that a PH is virtual will also be used to indicate if a
Pcmax,c has been reported for the associated PH.
Summary of change:  Include Pcmax,c only when the associated PH is based on a real format.
Presence of Pcmax,c is known from the V-bit.
There is also an editorial change made to 5.4.6 changing " if the UE will make a
PUCCH transmission in this TTI" to "if the UE has a PUCCH transmission in this
TTI".
Consequences if  Pcmax,c will be unnecessarily signalled for PH based on a reference format.

FIRST CHANGE
5.4.6 Power Headroom Reporting
The Power Headroom reporting procedure is used to provide the serving eNB with information about the difference
between the nominal UE maximum transmit power and the estimated power for UL-SCH transmission per activated
Serving Cell and also with information about the difference between the nominal UE maximum power and the
estimated power for UL-SCH and PUCCH transmission on PCell.
The reporting period, delay and mapping of Power Headroom are defined in subclause 9.1.8 of [9]. RRC controls Power
Headroom reporting by configuring the two timers periodicPHR-Timer and prohibitPHR-Timer, and by signalling dl-
PathlossChange which sets the change in measured downlink pathloss to trigger a PHR [8].
A Power Headroom Report (PHR) shall be triggered if any of the following events occur:
- prohibitPHR-Timer expires or has expired and the path loss has changed more than dl-PathlossChange dB for at
least one activated Serving Cell which is used as a pathloss reference since the last transmission of a PHR when
UE has UL resources for new transmission;
- periodicPHR-Timer expires;
- upon configuration or reconfiguration of the power headroom reporting functionality by upper layers [8], which
is not used to disable the function;
- activation of an SCell with configured uplink.
If the UE has UL resources allocated for new transmission for this TTI:
- if it is the first UL resource allocated for a new transmission since the last MAC reset, start periodicPHR-Timer;
- if the Power Headroom reporting procedure determines that at least one PHR has been triggered since the last
transmission of a PHR or this is the first time that a PHR is triggered, and;
- if the allocated UL resources can accommodate a PHR MAC control element plus its subheader as a result of
logical channel prioritization:
- if extendedPHR is configured:
- for each activated Serving Cell with configured uplink:
- obtain the value of the Type 1 power headroom;
- if the UE has a and [FFS if only for Serving cells with valid grant for this Serving Cell for this TTI]:
- obtain the value of the corresponding PCMAX,c associated with this Serving Cell from the
physical layer;
- if simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH is configured:
- obtain the value of the Type 2 power headroom for the PCell;
- and [FFS if only if the UE will makehas a PUCCH transmission in this TTI:]
- [FFS if only if different than PCMAX,c for Type 1 power headroom for the PCell] obtain the
value of the corresponding PCMAX,c from the physical layer;
- instruct the Multiplexing and Assembly procedure to generate and transmit an Extended PHR MAC
control element as defined in subclause 6.1.3.6a based on the values reported by the physical layer;
- else:
- obtain the value of the Type 1 power headroom from the physical layer;
- instruct the Multiplexing and Assembly procedure to generate and transmit a PHR MAC control element
as defined in subclause 6.1.3.6 based on the value reported by the physical layer;
3GPP
- start or restart periodicPHR-Timer;
- start or restart prohibitPHR-Timer;
- cancel all triggered PHR(s).

6.1.3.6a Extended Power Headroom MAC Control Element

The Extended Power Headroom MAC control element is identified by a MAC PDU subheader with LCID as specified
in table 6.2.1-2. It has a variable size and is defined in Figure 6.1.3.6a-1 for the case when only Type 1 PH is reported
for the PCell and in Figure 6.1.3.6a-2 for the case when both Type 1 and Type 2 PH are reported for the PCell. The
octet containing the Type 2 PH field (if reported) is included first after the MAC subheader and followed by an octet
containing the associated PCMAX,c value (FFS: if reported). Then follows in ascending order based on the Cell Index
an octet with the Type 1 PH field and an octet with the associated PCMAX,c (FFS: if reported),for each activated
Serving Cell indicated in the bitmap.
The Extended Power Headroom MAC Control Element is defined as follows:
- Ci: this field indicates the activation/deactivation status of the SCell with Cell Index i as specified in [8]. The Ci
field set to "1" indicates that a PH field for the SCell with Cell Index i is reported. The Ci field set to "0"
indicates that a PH field for the SCell with Cell Index i is not reported;
- R: reserved bit, set to "0";
- V: this field indicates if the PH value is based on a real transmission or a reference format. For Type 1 PH, V=0
indicates real transmission on PUSCH and V=1 indicates that a PUSCH reference format was used. For Type 2
PH, V=0 indicates real transmission on PUCCH and V=1 indicates that a PUCCH reference format was used.
Furthermore, for both Type 1 and Type 2 PH, V=0 indicates the presence of the associated P CMAX,c field, and V=1
indicates that the associated PCMAX,c field is omitted;
- Power Headroom (PH): this field indicates the power headroom level. The length of the field is 6 bits. The
reported PH and the corresponding power headroom levels are shown in Table 6.1.3.6-1 (the corresponding
measured values in dB can be found in subclause 9.1.8.4 of [9]). [FFS: If the corresponding V=1, the octet
containing the PCMAX,c field is omitted];
- PCMAX,c: if present, this field contains the PCMAX,c used for calculation of the preceding PH field.
