Abstract

A communication device for handling uplink power control comprises the instructions comprise determining a power level of a first uplink (UL) subframe of a first base station and a first power level of a second UL subframe of a second base station according to an initial power level of the first UL subframe and an initial power level of the second UL subframe, wherein a starting boundary of the second UL subframe is within the first UL subframe; and determining a second power level of the second UL subframe of the second base station and a first power level of a third UL subframe of the first base station according to the first power level of the second UL subframe and an initial power level of the third UL subframe, wherein a starting boundary of the third UL subframe is within the second UL subframe.

Claims (12)

1. A communication device for handling uplink power control configured to communicate with a first base station and a second base station, comprising:

a storage unit for storing instructions of:

determining a power level of a first uplink (UL) subframe of the first base station and a first power level of a second UL subframe of the second base station according to an initial power level of the first UL subframe and an initial power level of the second UL subframe, wherein a starting boundary of the second UL subframe is within the first UL subframe;

performing a first UL transmission with the first base station in the first UL subframe according to the power level of the first UL subframe;

determining a second power level of the second UL subframe of the second base station and a first power level of a third UL subframe of the first base station according to the first power level of the second UL subframe and an initial power level of the third UL subframe, wherein a starting boundary of the third UL subframe is within the second UL subframe; and

performing a second UL transmission with the second base station in the second UL subframe according to the second power level of the second UL subframe; and

a processing means, coupled to the storage unit, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit.

2. The communication device of claim 1 , the instructions further comprise:

determining a second power level of the third UL subframe and a first power level of a fourth UL subframe of the second base station according to the first power level of the third UL subframe and an initial power level of the fourth UL subframe, wherein a starting boundary of the fourth UL subframe is within the third UL subframe; and

performing a third UL transmission with the first base station in the third UL subframe according to the second power level of the third UL subframe.

3. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first base station is a master base station, and the second base station is a secondary base station.

4. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first UL subframe and the third UL subframe are consecutive UL subframes, and the second UL subframe and the fourth UL subframe are consecutive UL subframes.
