Abstract

A method of transmitting signals from a transmitter of a wireless communication system comprises determining each transmission power of a first signal and a second signal; if the difference Y in transmission power between the first signal and the second signal exceeds a predetermined value X, adjusting at least one of the transmission powers of the first signal or the second signal so as not to allow the difference in adjusted transmission power to exceed the predetermined value; and simultaneously transmitting the first signal and the second signal to a receiver using the adjusted transmission power.

Claims (27)

1. A method of transmitting signals at a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining, by the UE, a first transmission (Tx) power P n of a physical uplink channel when transmission (Tx) timings of plural physical uplink channels coincide at a subframe, the plural physical uplink channels including the physical uplink channel;

adjusting, by the UE the first Tx power P n to obtain a second Tx power P n ′ of the physical uplink channel; and

transmitting, by the UE, the physical uplink channel using the second Tx power P n ′,

wherein P n ′ is set as follows:

if (P n −P MIN )>X, then P n ′ is set as P MIN +X,

if (P n −P MIN )<=X, then P n ′ is set as P n ,

wherein P MIN is a minimum Tx power among Tx powers of the plural physical uplink channels, and X is a predetermined value, and

wherein P n is not a maximum Tx power among the Tx powers of the plural physical uplink channels.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical uplink channel is transmitted through one or more single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plural physical uplink channels respectively include separate reference signals.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plural physical uplink channels respectively include any one of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal, and a sounding reference signal (SRS).

5. A user equipment of a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) device connected with a processor and configured to transmit and receive a radio signal to and from a base station;

a the memory connected with the processor and storing information transmitted to and received from the base station and parameters required for an operation of the user equipment; and

the processor connected with the RF unit and the memory, and controlling the RF device and the memory for the operation of the user equipment,

wherein the processor is configured to

determine a first transmission (Tx) power P n of a physical uplink channel when Tx timings of plural physical uplink channels coincide at a subframe, the plural physical uplink channels including the physical uplink channel,

adjust the first Tx power P n to obtain a second Tx power P n ′ of the physical uplink channel, and

transmit the physical uplink channel using the second Tx power P n ′, wherein P n ′ is set as follows:

if (P n −P MIN )>X, then P n ′ is set as P MIN +X,

if (P n −P MIN )<=X, then P n ′ is set as P n ,

wherein P MIN is a minimum Tx power among Tx powers of the plural physical uplink channels, and X is a predetermined value, and

wherein P n is not a maximum Tx power among the Tx powers of the plural physical uplink channels.

6. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the physical uplink channel is transmitted through one or more single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols.

7. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the plural physical uplink channels respectively include separate reference signals.

8. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the plural physical uplink channels respectively include any one of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal, and a sounding reference signal (SRS).
