Abstract

A method of transmitting signals including determining, per each of the component carriers, transmission power of at least one channel for simultaneous transmission, in such a way that a total transmission power of the at least one channel does not exceed a maximum transmission power configured for a corresponding component carrier; and checking whether a total transmission power of channels over the multiple component carriers for the simultaneous transmission exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not. If the total transmission power of the channels exceeds the total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus, transmission power of at least one PUSCH among the channels is adjusted in such a way that an adjusted total transmission power over the multiple component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power.

Claims (34)

1. A method for transmitting signals using a plurality of component carriers by a communication apparatus in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining, per each of the component carriers, a transmission power of at least one channel for simultaneous transmission, in such a way that a total transmission power of the at least one channel does not exceed a maximum transmission power configured for a corresponding component carrier;

checking whether a total transmission power of a plurality of channels over the multiple component carriers for the simultaneous transmission exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with uplink control information (UCI), and a PUSCH without the UCI; and

if the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the multiple component carriers exceeds the total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus, adjusting a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels so that an adjusted total transmission power over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

simultaneously transmitting the PUCCH and the PUSCH with the UCI via a first component carrier and the PUSCH without the UCI via a second component carrier.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting includes reducing a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI using a transmission power attenuation coefficient.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting includes adjusting a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels while maintaining a transmission power of the PUCCH and a transmission power of the PUSCH with the UCI.

5. A method for transmitting signals using a plurality of component carriers by a communication apparatus in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining, per each of the component carriers, a transmission power of at least one channel for simultaneous transmission, in such a way that a total transmission power of the at least one channel does not exceed a maximum transmission power configured for a corresponding component carrier;

checking whether a total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers for the simultaneous transmission exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with uplink control information (UCI) and a PUSCH without the UCI; and

if the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers exceeds the total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus, adjusting a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels so that an adjusted total transmission power over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

simultaneously transmitting the PUSCH with the UCI via a first component carrier and the PUSCH without the UCI via a second component carrier.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the adjusting includes reducing a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI using a transmission power attenuation coefficient.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the adjusting includes adjusting a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels while maintaining a transmission power of the PUSCH with the UCI.

9. A communication apparatus for transmitting signals using a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine, per each of the component carriers, a transmission power of at least one channel for simultaneous transmission, in such a way that a total transmission power of the at least one channel does not exceed a maximum transmission power configured for a corresponding component carrier,

check whether a total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers for the simultaneous transmission exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with uplink control information (UCI), and a PUSCH without the UCI, and

if the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers exceeds the total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus, adjust a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels so that an adjusted total transmission power over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power.

10. The communication apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to simultaneously transmit the PUCCH and the PUSCH with the UCI via a first component carrier and the PUSCH without the UCI via a second component carrier.

11. The communication apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to reduce a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI using a transmission power attenuation coefficient.

12. The communication apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to adjust a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels while maintaining a transmission power of the PUCCH and a transmission power of the PUSCH with the UCI.

13. A communication apparatus for transmitting signals using a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine, per each of the component carriers, a transmission power of at least one channel for simultaneous transmission, in such a way that a total transmission power of the at least one channel does not exceed a maximum transmission power configured for a corresponding component carrier,

check whether a total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers for the simultaneous transmission exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with uplink control information (UCI) and a PUSCH without the UCI, and

if the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers exceeds the total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus, adjust a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels so that an adjusted total transmission power over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power.

14. The communication apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to simultaneously transmit the PUSCH with the UCI via a first component carrier and the PUSCH without the UCI via a second component carrier.

15. The communication apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to reduce a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI using a transmission power attenuation coefficient.

16. The communication apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to adjust a transmission power of the PUSCH without the UCI from among the plurality of channels while maintaining a transmission power of the PUSCH with the UCI.
