User equipment and method
One objective of the present invention is to determine an allowed range of transmission power in relaxation of the transmission power of a user equipment. One aspect of the present invention relates to a user equipment comprising: a transmission power lower bound value calculation unit configured to calculate a lower bound value of transmission power of the user equipment by applying a power relaxation factor for relaxing the transmission power; a transmission power upper bound value calculation unit configured to calculate an upper bound value of the transmission power; an allowed transmission power range determination unit configured to calculate tolerances of the calculated lower bound value and upper bound value to compensate for the applied power relaxation factor and determine an allowed range of the transmission power based on the calculated tolerances; and a transmission power determination unit configured to determine the transmission power within the determined allowed range of transmission power, wherein the allowed transmission power range determination unit determines the allowed range of transmission power to compensate for the applied power relaxation factor.
