Abstract: Various methods are provided for triggering a power headroom report. One example method may include storing a first pathloss value and a second pathloss value for a first entity and a first pathloss value and a second pathloss value for a second entity, for each of the first entity and second entity, determining whether first pathloss value or second pathloss value has changed more than a corresponding threshold value, determining whether the UE has UL resources for a new transmission, and in an instance where, for at least one of the first entity or second entity, the first pathloss value or second pathloss value has changed (e.g., increased or decreased) more than the corresponding threshold value, triggering a PHR. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: Various apparatae, methods and code are described for determining a designation or lack thereof of a carrier to at least one of a master cell group and a secondary cell group from at least one of at least one measurement object or at least one reporting configuration received from a network; determining measurement parameters for the carrier based on the designation or lack thereof from configurations and/or activities associated with the determined cell group; and performing measurements on the carrier corresponding to the determined measurement parameters. Various apparatae, methods and code are described for, in response to determining a user equipment's measurements being too infrequent on a carrier part of the user equipment's master cell group, assigning the carrier to the user equipments secondary cell group and receiving corresponding measurement reports.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from relaxed performance requirements. For example, long term evolution (LTE), and in particular heterogeneous networks (HetNet) as well as small cell detection and discovery in small cell deployments in general, may benefit from relaxed performance requirements for offloading measurements. A method can include determining whether a user equipment is in active data transfer. The method can also include using a relaxed performance requirement with respect to a plurality of gap bursts when the user equipment is determined not to be in active data transfer.
