Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for determining uplink transmission power of a terminal in a wireless communication system and a device therefore. Specifically, the method for allowing a terminal to determine uplink transmission power in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving information for determining uplink transmission power from an upper layer; measuring a path loss value for base stations, which participate in cooperate communication, on the basis of information for determining transmission power, on the basis of the received information for determining the transmission power and the measured path loss value, wherein the information for determining the transmission power is information for channel estimation of at least one base station which participates in the cooperative communication.

Claims (23)

1. A method for determining uplink transmit (UL Tx) power of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE, information for determining UL Tx power including a plurality of pathloss offsets of a plurality of base stations participating in coordinated communication via a higher layer;

measuring, by the UE, respective pathloss values of the plurality of base stations on the basis of the received information; and

determining, by the UE, a specific base station used as a reference point on the basis of the received information and the measured respective pathloss values,

wherein the received information further includes channel estimation information of the plurality of base stations,

wherein the received information further includes a parameter associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS) and a parameter associated with the plurality of base stations, and

wherein the parameter associated with the plurality of base stations and the parameter associated with the SRS are configured independently from each other.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pathloss offsets is determined based on Interference over Thermal (IoT) information of at least one of the plurality of base stations.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pathloss offsets is determined based on channel state information (CSI) of at least one of the plurality of base stations.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific base station used as the reference point allows a sum of the pathloss offsets and the pathloss values to have a minimum value.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the parameters is received from at least one of the plurality of base stations.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the parameters has a fixed value on the basis of the specific base station, and

wherein the specific base station is one of the plurality of base stations.

7. A user equipment (UE) for determining uplink transmit (UL Tx) power in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor operably coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive information for determining UL Tx power including a plurality of pathloss offsets of a plurality of base stations participating in coordinated communication via a higher layer,

measure respective pathloss values of the plurality of base stations on the basis of the received information, and

decide determine a specific base station used as a reference point on the basis of the received information and the measured respective pathloss values,

wherein the received information includes channel estimation information of the plurality of base stations,

wherein the received information further includes a parameter associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS) and a parameter associated with the plurality of base stations and

wherein the parameter associated with plurality of base stations and the parameter associated with the SRS are configured independently from each other.
