Abstract

Provided is a method and apparatus for controlling transmission power in a wireless communication system. A terminal sets transmission power of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). Among a plurality of physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs), at least one PUSCH to which uplink control information (UCI) is not mapped is decreased in transmission power based on a maximum transmission power of the terminal and the transmission power of the PUCCH, and transmission power of at least one second PUSCH, of the plurality of PUSCHs to which UCI is mapped, is set. At this time, the UCI and uplink data are transmitted through the PUCCH, the at least one first PUSCH, and the at least one second PUSCH; and the at least one first PUSCH and the at least one second PUSCH are allocated to component carriers (CCs) of a plurality of uplinks (ULs).

Claims (75)

1. A method of controlling transmission power by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining transmission power of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

determining transmission power of at least one first uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to which an uplink control information (UCI) is not mapped by scaling down the transmission power thereof among a plurality of PUSCHs on the basis of maximum transmission power of the terminal and the transmission power of the PUCCH;

determining transmission power of at least one second PUSCH to which the UCI is mapped among the plurality of PUSCHs; and

transmitting the UCI and uplink (UL) data through the PUCCH, the at least one first PUSCH, and the at least one second PUSCH,

wherein the at least one first PUSCH and the at least one second PUSCH are allocated to a plurality of UL component carriers (CCs).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power of the at least one first PUSCH is determined by being scaled down to satisfy the equation of:

where w c is a scaling factor for scaling down the transmission power of the at least one first PUSCH, c is an index of a UL CC, P PUSCHC (i) is the transmission power of the at least one first PUSCH, P CMAX is the maximum transmission power of the terminal; and P PUCCH (i) is the transmission power of the PUCCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI is any one of a periodic UCI, an aperiodic channel quality indicator (CQI), and a jointly encoded periodic UCI and aperiodic CQI.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power of the at least one second PUSCH is evenly distributed to the at least one second PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power of the at least one second PUSCH is allocated to the at least one second PUSCH on the basis of a pre-set priority.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the transmission power of the second PUSCH allocated to a UL primary CC (PCC) is preferentially allocated among the at least one second PUSCH.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the priority is set explicitly by physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the priority is set implicitly on the basis of a size of a transmission block (TB) or an index of a plurality of UL CCs to which the at least one second PUSCH is allocated.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the transmission power of the second PUSCH to which an aperiodic CQI is mapped is preferentially allocated among the at least one second PUSCH.

10. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured for:

determining transmission power of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

determining transmission power of at least one first uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to which an uplink control information (UCI) is not mapped by scaling down the transmission power thereof among a plurality of PUSCHs on the basis of maximum transmission power of the terminal and the transmission power of the PUCCH;

determining transmission power of at least one second PUSCH to which the UCI is mapped among the plurality of PUSCHs; and

transmitting the UCI and uplink (UL) data through the PUCCH, the at least one first PUSCH, and the at least one second PUSCH,

wherein the at least one first PUSCH and the at least one second PUSCH are allocated to a plurality of UL component carriers (CCs).

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the transmission power of the at least one first PUSCH is determined by being scaled down to satisfy the equation of:

12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the UCI is any one of a periodic UCI, an aperiodic channel quality indicator (CQI), and a jointly encoded periodic UCI and aperiodic CQI.

13. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the transmission power of the at least one second PUSCH is evenly distributed to the at least one second PUSCH.

14. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the transmission power of the at least one second PUSCH is allocated to the at least one second PUSCH on the basis of a pre-set priority.
