Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a receiving circuit and a transmitting circuit. The receiving circuit receives a higher layer signal including a first parameter concerning uplink power control, and receives a higher layer signal including a configuration of first and second subframe sets and a second parameter concerning uplink power control. The transmitting circuit sets a transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel transmitted on a subframe, the transmit power being based on the first parameter, in a case where the first and second subframe sets are configured and the subframe belongs to the first subframe set, and sets a transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel transmitted on a subframe, the transmit power being based on the second parameter, in a case where the first and second subframe sets are configured and the subframe belongs to the second subframe set.

Claims (32)

1. A terminal apparatus configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiving circuit configured to:

receive a higher layer signal including an uplink power control configuration, and

receive an uplink grant; and

a transmitting circuit configured to:

transmit a PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) based on the uplink grant, wherein

the uplink power control configuration includes first parameters for a first subframe set, second parameters for a second subframe set, and a third parameter for a pathloss reference configuration, the third parameter specifying a serving cell, the serving cell being either a primary cell or a secondary cell; and

the transmitting circuit is further configured to:

calculate a first pathloss for transmission to the primary cell based on a reference signal from the primary cell, and a second pathloss for transmission to the secondary cell based on a second reference signal from the serving cell specified by the third parameter, wherein an index of the second reference signal corresponds to the third parameter,

set a first transmit power for the PUSCH on a first subframe belonging to the first subframe set and being after a configured number of subframes from reception of the uplink grant, the first transmit power being based on the first parameters, the first pathloss and a power correction value, the power correction value being included in the uplink grant, and

set a second transmit power for the PUSCH on a second subframe belonging to the second subframe set and being after the configured number of subframes from reception of the uplink grant, the second transmit power being based on the second parameters, the second pathloss and the power correction value,

and wherein

the first transmit power is based on the first parameters for the primary cell in a first case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the primary cell,

the first transmit power is based on the first parameters for the secondary cell in a second case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the secondary cell,

the second transmit power is based on the second parameters for the primary cell in a third case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the primary cell, and

the second transmit power is based on the second parameters for the secondary cell in a fourth case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the secondary cell.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first parameters are a nominal PUSCH power and a user equipment specific PUSCH power for the first subframe set, and

the second parameters are a nominal PUSCH power and a user equipment specific PUSCH power for the second subframe set.

3. A communication method for a terminal apparatus configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving a higher layer signal including an uplink power control configuration, wherein

the uplink power control configuration includes first parameters for a first subframe set, second parameters for a second subframe set and a third parameter for a pathloss reference configuration, and

the third parameter specifies a serving cell, the serving cell being either a primary cell or a secondary cell;

receiving an uplink grant;

calculating a first pathloss for transmission to the primary cell based on a reference signal from the primary cell, and a second pathloss for transmission to the secondary cell based on a second reference signal from the serving cell specified by the third parameter, wherein an index of the second reference signal corresponds to the third parameter;

setting a first transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on a first subframe belonging to the first subframe set and being after a configured number of subframes from reception of the uplink grant, the first transmit power being based on the first parameters, the first pathloss and a power correction value, the power correction value being included in the uplink grant

setting a second transmit power for the PUSCH on a second subframe belonging to the second subframe set and being after the configured number of subframes from reception of the uplink grant, the second transmit power being based on second parameters, the second pathloss and the power correction value; and

transmitting the PUSCH, wherein

the first transmit power is based on the first parameters for the primary cell in a first case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the primary cell,

the first transmit power is based on the first parameters for the secondary cell in a second case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the secondary cell,

the second transmit power is based on the second parameters for the primary cell in a third case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the primary cell, and

the second transmit power is based on the second parameters for the secondary cell in a fourth case that the uplink grant is an uplink grant from the secondary cell.
