Abstract

A radio communication system is disclosed. The method for transmitting a signal by a user equipment in a radio communication system includes generating a plurality of uplink signals, reducing maximum transmit power of the user equipment in consideration of a signal configuration for the plurality of uplink signals, and transmitting the plurality of uplink signals to a network within the range of the reduced maximum transmit power of the user equipment.

Claims (14)

1. A method for transmitting a signal by a user equipment in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

generating a plurality of uplink signals;

reducing a maximum transmit power of the user equipment in consideration of a signal configuration for the plurality of uplink signals; and

transmitting the plurality of uplink signals to a network within the range of the reduced maximum transmit power of the user equipment,

wherein the signal configuration includes a frequency distance between the plurality of uplink signals, and

wherein, if the plurality of uplink signals includes two PUCCH signals, the frequency distance between the two PUCCH signals is set to N RB −2 in the process of reducing the maximum transmit power of the user equipment, and N RB is the total number of Resource Blocks (RBs) within a band.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reduction of the maximum transmit power of the user equipment is performed using Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) or Additional MPR (A-MPR) modified in consideration of the distance between the frequencies.

3. A user equipment used in a radio communication system, comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive an RF signal to or from a base station; and

a processor connected to the RF signal and configured to control the RF unit,

wherein the processor generates a plurality of uplink signals, reduces a maximum transmit power of the user equipment in consideration of a signal configuration for the plurality of uplink signals, and transmits the plurality of uplink signals to a network within the range of the reduced maximum transmit power of the user equipment,

wherein the signal configuration includes a frequency distance between the plurality of uplink signals, and

wherein, if the plurality of uplink signals includes two PUCCH signals, the frequency distance between the two PUCCH signals is set to N RB −2 in the process of reducing the maximum transmit power of the user equipment, and N RB is the total number of Resource Blocks (RBs) within a band.

4. The user equipment according to claim 3 , wherein the maximum transmit power of the user equipment is reduced using Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) or Additional MPR (A-MPR) modified in consideration of the distance between the frequencies.
