Abstract

A method for a terminal controlling power in a wireless communication system, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving from a base station power setting information on the difference in power setting values between a first channel for eNodeB-to-device (eNB2D) communication, and a second channel for device-to-device (D2D) communication; and controlling the power of the first channel and/or the second channel in accordance with the power setting information, wherein the power is controlled in accordance with a predetermined priority, which is based on a plurality of channels and a plurality of transmitted data items, which are different from each other are simultaneously transmitted by the terminal at a specific time.

Claims (17)

1. A method for enabling a user equipment (UE) to control a power in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE, a configuration for configured maximum output power for uplink transmission power for a UE-to-evolved NodeB (UE-eNB) transmission and a Device-to-Device (D2D) transmission via higher layer signaling;

receiving, by the UE, one or more channel resource configurations for the UE-eNB transmission and the D2D transmission and sets of parameters configured for the UE-eNB transmission and the D2D transmission,

wherein each of the sets of parameters is respectively associated with a corresponding channel resource configuration;

if a time period for the UE-eNB transmission is set, determining UE-eNB transmission power in association with resource assignment for a specific channel within the time period according to a specific channel resource configuration among the one or more channel resource configurations, based on the set of parameters corresponding to the UE-eNB communication; and

if a time period for the D2D transmission is set, determining D2D transmission power in association with a resource assignment for a specific channel within the time period according to a specific channel resource configuration among the one or more channel resource configurations, based on the set of parameters corresponding to the D2D transmission,

wherein, when the D2D transmission power exceeds the configured maximum output power for uplink transmission power, the D2D transmission power is set to be equal to or less than the configured maximum output power for uplink transmission power.

2. A user equipment (UE) for controlling a power in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency unit; and

a processor coupled to the radio frequency unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the radio frequency unit to receive a configuration for configured maximum output power for uplink transmission power for a UE-to-evolved NodeB (UE-eNB) transmission and a Device-to-Device (D2D) transmission via higher layer signaling,

control the radio frequency unit to receive one or more channel resource configurations for the UE-eNB transmission and the D2D transmission and sets of parameters configured for the UE-eNB transmission and the D2D transmission,

wherein each of the sets of parameters is respectively associated with a corresponding channel resource configuration,

if a time period for the UE-eNB transmission is set, determine UE-eNB transmission power in association with resource assignment for a specific channel within the time period according to a specific channel resource configuration among the one or more channel resource configurations, based on the set of parameters corresponding to the UE-eNB communication, and

if a time period for the D2D transmission is set, determine D2D transmission power in association with a resource assignment for a specific channel within the time period according to a specific channel resource configuration among the one or more channel resource configurations based on the set of parameters corresponding to the D2D transmission,

wherein, when the D2D transmission power exceeds the configured maximum output power for uplink transmission power, the D2D transmission power is set to be equal to or less than the configured maximum output power for uplink transmission power.
