Wireless communications system, terminal and base station
A wireless communications system, a terminal, and a base station that, when a terminal has not transmitted data for a predetermined period of time, suppress the transmission power, used when the terminal starts data transmission, by performing transmission power control that makes it easy for the terminal to decrease, or difficult for the terminal to increase, the transmission T 2 P or that, when a terminal that has not transmitted data for a predetermined period of time requests a sector to assign resources for data transmission, suppress the transmission power, used when the terminal starts data transmission, by transmitting a resource assignment message from the sector to the terminal to instruct the terminal to decrease the transmission power when the terminal starts data transmission.
1 . A wireless communications system that is an OFDM cellular wireless communications system comprising a base station and a terminal wherein
