Abstract

Facilitating management of network resource allocation based on device effective isotropic radiated power in advanced networks (e.g., 4G, 5G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can comprise receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a first indication of a baseband output power of a mobile device and a second indication of a minimum peak effective isotropic radiated power of the mobile device. Further, the method can comprise scheduling, by the system, uplink physical resource blocks based on the first indication and the second indication, wherein the scheduling is performed during initial access. The method can also include communicating the device EIRP between network nodes during handover such that a target network device obtains the device EIRP from a source network device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A user equipment, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 sending, to a controller device, isotropic radiated power capability of the user equipment, and 
 receiving, from the controller device, an indication that physical resource blocks have been scheduled for the user equipment based on the isotropic radiated power capability of the user equipment. 
   
     
     
         2 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein sending the isotropic radiated power capability comprises sending an information element that comprises a second indication of the isotropic radiated power capability. 
     
     
         3 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the isotropic radiated power capability comprises an effective capability. 
     
     
         4 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the controller device comprises a first controller device, wherein the operations further comprise, receiving a handover message from a second controller device, and wherein the handover message was generated based on isotropic radiated power capability being transferred from being connected to the first controller device being connected to the second controller device. 
     
     
         5 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the isotropic radiated power capability comprises a measured baseband output power of the user equipment. 
     
     
         6 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the isotropic radiated power capability comprises an estimated minimum peak effective isotropic radiated power of the user equipment. 
     
     
         7 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein sending the isotropic radiated power capability to the controller device is based on a request for the isotropic radiated power capability received from the controller device. 
     
     
         8 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the physical resource blocks were scheduled for the user equipment by the controller device based on:
 a determination that the isotropic radiated power capability satisfies a defined threshold capability; and   a selection of a first number of physical resource blocks to schedule for the user equipment, wherein the first number comprises a larger number of physical resource blocks than a second number of physical resource blocks to schedule for the user equipment that would have been scheduled based on the isotropic radiated power capability not satisfying the defined threshold capability.   
     
     
         9 . The user equipment of  claim 8 , wherein, based on the determination that the isotropic radiated power capability satisfies the defined threshold capability, the controller device further schedules a digital modulation for the user equipment. 
     
     
         10 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the controller device is deployed in a non-standalone deployment architecture. 
     
     
         11 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the controller device is deployed in a standalone deployment architecture. 
     
     
         12 . A method, comprising:
 responding, by a user equipment comprising a processor, to an inquiry from controller equipment, with a response comprising capability information corresponding to an isotropic power capability of the user equipment, wherein based on the isotropic power capability, the controller equipment identified the capability information as further comprising a lower limit on peak effective isotropic power of the user equipment; and   receiving, by the user equipment, from the controller equipment, an first indication that physical resources have been scheduled for the user equipment, wherein the physical resources were scheduled based on the capability information.
