Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present invention may comprises: a step of a terminal calculating a first maximum power reduction value to be applied to a first uplink channel; and a step of transmitting, from a plurality of subframes, the first uplink channel at the maximum transmission power by applying the first maximum power reduction value. The first uplink channel is transmitted through different frequency resources within the plurality of subframes. The maximum transmission power value has different values according to frequency resources through which specific channels are transmitted. The first maximum power reduction value is a predetermined value applied during the transmission of the first uplink channel.

Claims (20)

1. A method of controlling uplink transmit power, which is controlled by an MTC UE in a wireless communication system supporting MTC (machine type communication), comprising the steps of:

calculating a first maximum power reduction value to be applied to a first uplink channel; and

transmitting the first uplink channel using maximum transmit power to which the first maximum power reduction value is applied in a plurality of subframes,

wherein the first uplink channel is transmitted via frequency resources different from each other within a plurality of the subframes, wherein the maximum transmit power includes a different value according to a frequency resource in which a specific channel is transmitted, and wherein a prescribed value is applied to the first maximum power reduction value while the first uplink channel is transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum power reduction value corresponds to MPR (maximum power reduction).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum power reduction value corresponds to A-MPR (advanced-maximum power reduction).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first maximum power reduction value corresponds to a maximum value among maximum power reduction values which are calculated according to each of the plurality of the subframes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first maximum power reduction value corresponds to a maximum value among maximum power reduction values which are calculated according to each of a slots within the plurality of the subframes.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum power reduction value is determined according to at least one selected from the group consisting of a position of a resource block of the first uplink channel, the number of resource blocks, and a modulation scheme.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first uplink channel corresponds to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for transmitting uplink control information or a physical uplink data channel (PUSCH) for transmitting user data.

8. An MTC UE for controlling uplink transmit power in a wireless communication system supporting MTC (machine type communication), comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver, the processor configured to calculate a first maximum power reduction value to be applied to a first uplink channel, the processor configured to transmit the first uplink channel using maximum transmit power to which the first maximum power reduction value is applied in a plurality of subframes,

wherein the first uplink channel is transmitted via frequency resources different from each other within a plurality of the subframes, wherein the maximum transmit power included a different value according to a frequency resource in which a specific channel is transmitted, and wherein a prescribed value is applied to the first maximum power reduction value while the first uplink channel is transmitted.

9. The MTC UE of claim 8 , wherein the maximum power reduction value corresponds to MPR (maximum power reduction).

10. The MTC UE of claim 8 , wherein the maximum power reduction value corresponds to A-MPR (advanced maximum power reduction).

11. The MTC UE of claim 8 , wherein the first maximum power reduction value corresponds to a maximum value among maximum power reduction values which are calculated according to each of the plurality of the subframes.

12. The MTC UE of claim 8 , wherein the first maximum power reduction value corresponds to a maximum value among maximum power reduction values which are calculated according to each of a slot within the plurality of the subframes.

13. The MTC UE of claim 8 , wherein the maximum power reduction value is determined according to at least one selected from the group consisting of a position of a resource block of the first uplink channel, the number of resource blocks, and a modulation scheme.

14. The MTC UE of claim 8 , wherein the first uplink channel corresponds to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for transmitting uplink control information or a physical uplink data channel (PUSCH) for transmitting user data.
