Abstract

To improve throughput in a communication environment in which a large number of terminal apparatuses access, a receiver receives information indicating whether a radio resource allocated by a base station apparatus is a grant free access resource or a scheduled access resource, as well as transmission power control information in the scheduled access resource and transmission power control information in the grant free access resource; and a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission signal to the base station apparatus. In a case of communicating by using the scheduled access resource, a transmission power control is performed based on the first transmission power control information to transmit the transmission signal. In a case of communicating by using the grant-free access resource, the transmission power control is performed based on the second transmission power control information to transmit the transmission signal.

Claims (54)

the terminal apparatus is configured to communicate with the base station apparatus by using a plurality of serving cells in a carrier aggregation,

the plurality of serving cells include a primary cell and at least a secondary cell, and

the first serving cell is the primary cell and the second serving cell is the secondary cell.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first transmission power control information includes a transmission power value or a transmission power control parameter, and in a case that the transmission power value is included, a transmission is performed at the transmission power, and in a case that the transmission power control parameter is included, the transmission is performed at a transmission power calculated based on the transmission power control parameter.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case of communicating by using the second resource, a transmission is performed at a transmission power obtained by adding a random power offset to a power calculated based on a transmission control parameter included in the second transmission power control information.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case of communicating by using the second resource, a power headroom is calculated that is a difference between a maximum transmission power and a transmission power calculated based on a transmission power control parameter included in the second transmission power control information, and in a case that the power headroom has a negative value, the terminal apparatus requests a scheduled access to the base station apparatus.

5. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:
