Abstract

A method for transmitting signals using a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system. The method according to one embodiment includes controlling transmission powers for one or more channels per each component carrier; and checking whether a total transmission power of a plurality of channels for simultaneous transmission over the plurality of component carriers exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for a communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and if the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers exceeds the total maximum transmission power, adjusting a transmission power of the PUSCH in such a way that the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power transmission power.

Claims (21)

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

controlling transmission powers for one or more channels per each component carrier; and

checking whether a total transmission power of a plurality of channels for simultaneous transmission over the plurality of component carriers exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); 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 in such a way that the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power transmission power.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the PUCCH and the PUSCH simultaneously,

wherein the PUCCH is transmitted through a first component carrier, and

wherein the PUSCH is transmitted thorough a second component carrier.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting includes reducing the transmission power of the PUSCH by applying an attenuation coefficient.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transmission power of the PUCCH is not adjusted.

5. A communication apparatus configured to transmit signals using a plurality of component carriers in a wireless communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to:

control transmission powers for one or more channels per each component carrier, and

check whether a total transmission power of a plurality of channels for simultaneous transmission over the plurality of component carriers exceeds a total maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus or not, the plurality of channels including a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), 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 in such a way that the total transmission power of the plurality of channels over the plurality of component carriers does not exceed the total maximum transmission power transmission power.

6. The communication apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit, via the RF unit, the PUCCH and the PUSCH simultaneously,

wherein the PUCCH is transmitted through a first component carrier, and

wherein the PUSCH is transmitted thorough a second component carrier.

7. The communication apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the transmission power of the PUSCH by applying an attenuation coefficient.

8. The communication apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to control that a transmission power of the PUCCH is not adjusted.
