receiving one or more uplink power control parameters corresponding to each Bandwidth Part (BWP) from a network device, wherein each BWP is continuous physical resources in a frequency domain within a given carrier, and the number of the continuous physical resources contained in each BWP is less than the number of physical resources contained in the given carrier in the frequency domain; and

performing transmission power control over uplink transmission on a first target BWP in accordance with one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP.

2. The power control method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more target uplink power control parameters comprise at least one of maximum transmission power, target received power, a power compensation factor, a path loss reference, a power adjustment value, and a Transmission power Control (TPC) command word.

3. The power control method according to claim 1 , wherein subsequent to performing the transmission power control over the uplink transmission on the first target BWP in accordance with the one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP, the power control method further comprises:

transmitting an actual power headroom corresponding to the first target BWP, the actual power headroom corresponding to the first target BWP being calculated in accordance with maximum transmission power corresponding to the first target BWP and actual transmission power of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); or

calculating a virtual power headroom in accordance with the maximum transmission power corresponding to the first target BWP and virtual transmission power of the PUSCH, and transmitting the virtual power headroom.

4. The power control method according to claim 1 , wherein prior to performing the transmission power control over the uplink transmission on the first target BWP in accordance with the one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP, the power control method further comprises:

receiving a BWP adjustment command from the network device; and

determining the first target BWP in accordance with the BWP adjustment command.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a computer program which, when executed by a processor of a User Equipment (UE), causes the UE to perform the steps of the power control method according to claim 1 .

6. A reception method performed by a network device, the reception method comprising:

transmitting one or more uplink power control parameters corresponding to each Bandwidth Part (BWP) to a User Equipment (UE), wherein each BWP is continuous physical resources in a frequency domain within a given carrier, and the number of the continuous physical resources contained in each BWP is less than the number of physical resources contained in the given carrier in the frequency domain; and

receiving uplink transmission on a first target BWP in accordance with one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP.

7. The reception method according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more target uplink power control parameters comprise at least one of maximum transmission power, target received power, a power compensation factor, a path loss reference, a power adjustment value, and a Transmission power Control (TPC) command word.

8. The reception method according to claim 6 , wherein subsequent to receiving the uplink transmission on the first target BWP in accordance with the one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP, the reception method further comprises:

receiving an actual power headroom corresponding to the first target BWP, the actual power headroom corresponding to the first target BWP being calculated in accordance with maximum transmission power corresponding to the first target BWP and actual transmission power of a PUSCH from the UE; or

receiving a virtual power headroom calculated in accordance with the maximum transmission power corresponding to the first target BWP and virtual transmission power of the PUSCH from the UE.

9. The reception method according to claim 6 , wherein prior to receiving the uplink transmission on the first target BWP in accordance with the one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP, the reception method further comprises:

transmitting a BWP adjustment command indicating the first target BWP.

10. A network device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executed by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program so as to implement the reception method according to claim 6 .

11. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein prior to receiving the uplink transmission on the first target BWP in accordance with the one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP, the reception method further comprises:

transmitting one or more uplink power control parameters corresponding to each BWP to a UE.

12. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more target uplink power control parameters comprise at least one of maximum transmission power, target received power, a power compensation factor, a path loss reference, a power adjustment value, and a Transmission power Control (TPC) command word.

13. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein subsequent to receiving the uplink transmission on the first target BWP in accordance with the one or more target uplink power control parameters corresponding to the first target BWP, the reception method further comprises:

receiving an actual power headroom corresponding to the first target BWP, the actual power headroom corresponding to the first target BWP being calculated in accordance with maximum transmission power corresponding to the first target BWP and actual transmission power of a PUSCH from the UE; or

receiving a virtual power headroom calculated in accordance with the maximum transmission power corresponding to the first target BWP and virtual transmission power of the PUSCH from the UE.
