Abstract

A base station device that communicates with a first terminal device that transmits first data includes: a controller configured to determine whether a calculation method for a single term among a plurality of terms included in an equation for determining a transmission power of the first terminal device is either a first method or a second method, the first method using a relative value based on a previous value of the single term, the second method using an absolute value that is irrelevant to the previous value of the single term; and a transmitter configured to transmit, to the first terminal device, notification information for notifying the calculation method determined by the controller.

Claims (38)

1. A base station device that communicates with a first terminal device that transmits first data, the base station device comprising:

a controller configured to determine whether a calculation method for a single term among a plurality of terms included in an equation for determining a transmission power of the first terminal device is either a first method or a second method, the first method using a relative value based on a previous value of the single term, the second method using an absolute value that is irrelevant to the previous value of the single term; and

a transmitter configured to transmit, to the first terminal device, notification information for notifying the calculation method determined by the controller, wherein

the controller is further configured to select, according to a type of signal transmitted by the first terminal device being a first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power of the first terminal device from the first method and the second method, and

the controller is further configured to select, according to the type of signal transmitted by the first terminal device being a second type different from the first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power of the first terminal device from the first method and the second method.

2. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits a transmission power control command designating a value corresponding to the relative value or the absolute value.

3. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller selects the second method as a method for calculating a transmission power for a resource used by the first terminal device to transmit the second type of the signal, and

the transmitter transmits the notification information indicating that the second method is selected to a second terminal device.

4. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller

identifies a resource used by the first terminal device to transmit signal, the first terminal device communicating with another base station device different from the base station device, and

selects the second method as a method for calculating a transmission power for the resource identified, and

the transmitter transmits the notification information indicating that the second method is selected to a second terminal device communicating with the base station device.

5. The base station device according to claim 4 , wherein

the controller determines a position of the second terminal device, and

the transmitter transmits the notification information indicating that the second method is selected to the second terminal device in a case where it is determined that a distance from the base station device to the second terminal device is more than a predetermined distance.

6. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to select, according to the type of signal transmitted by the first terminal device being a first type and first configuration information for configuring the calculation method for the first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power of the first terminal device from the first method and the second method, and

the controller is further configured to select, based on the type of signal transmitted by the first terminal device being a second type and second configuration information for configuring the second calculation method for the second type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power of the first terminal device from the first method and the second method.

7. The base station device according to claim 6 , wherein

the controller is further configured to select, based on the type of signal transmitted by the first terminal device being the second type, the second method as the calculation method.

8. A terminal device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive notification information indicating whether a calculation method for a single term among a plurality of terms included in an equation for determining a transmission power is either a first method or a second method, the first method using a relative value based on a previous value of the single term, the second method using an absolute value that is irrelevant to the previous value of the single term;

a controller configured to calculate a transmission power by using the first method or the second method in accordance with the notification information; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a signal with the transmission power calculated by the controller, wherein

the controller is further configured to determine, according to a type of the signal transmitted via the transmitter being a first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power from the first method and the second method, and

the controller is further configured to determine, according to the type of the signal transmitted via the transmitter being a second type different from the first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power from the first method and the second method.

9. A wireless communication system comprising:

a base station device; and

a terminal device configured to communicate the base station;

the base station device is further configured to:

determine whether a calculation method for a single term among a plurality of terms included in an equation for determining a transmission power of the terminal device is either a first method or a second method, the first method using a relative value based on a previous value of the single term, the second method using an absolute value that is irrelevant to the previous value of the single term, and

transmit, to the terminal device, notification information for notifying the calculation method determined by the controller, wherein

the base station is further configured to:

select, according to a type of signal transmitted by the terminal device being a first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power of the terminal device from the first method and the second method, and

select, according to the type of signal transmitted by the terminal device being a second type different from the first type, the calculation method to determine the transmission power of the terminal device from the first method and the second method.
