Abstract

A wireless communication method for transmitting a plurality of wireless signals using a plurality of carriers from a first wireless communication apparatus to a second wireless communication apparatus, each of the plurality of carriers having each of a plurality of bandwidths, the wireless communication method including: determining a carrier group including at least two of the plurality of carrier, receiving group power control information for controlling a transmission power of the carrier group, the group power control information being generated in accordance with a reception quality of the carrier group, the reception quality of the carrier group being obtained in accordance with at least one of the plurality of wireless signals that has a carrier included in the carrier group, and transmitting the plurality of wireless signals in accordance with the group power control information.

Claims (34)

1. A wireless communication method for transmitting a plurality of wireless signals using a plurality of carriers from a second wireless communication apparatus to a first wireless communication apparatus, each of the plurality of carriers having each of a plurality of bandwidths, the wireless communication method comprising:

determining, by the first wireless communication apparatus, a carrier group including at least two of the plurality of carriers;

transmitting, by the first wireless communication apparatus, group power control information for controlling a transmission power of the carrier group to the second wireless communication apparatus, the group power control information being generated by the first wireless communication apparatus in accordance with a reception quality of the carrier group received from the second wireless communication apparatus, the reception quality of the carrier group being obtained based on at least one of the plurality of wireless signals that has a carrier included in the carrier group; and

receiving the plurality of wireless signals from the second wireless communication apparatus in accordance with the group power control information; wherein

the carrier group is determined based on when an accumulation of variations of transmission power in at least two of the plurality of carriers is equal to or smaller than a predetermined amount.

2. The wireless communication method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the first wireless communication apparatus, individual power control information for controlling at least one transmission power individually for at least one carrier that is not included in the carrier group, the individual power control information being generated in accordance with a reception quality of the at least one carrier; and

receiving, by the first wireless communication apparatus, the plurality of wireless signals from the second wireless communication apparatus in accordance with the individual power control information.

3. The wireless communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least two of the plurality of carriers are included in a certain frequency range.

4. The wireless communication method according to claim 3 , wherein

the carrier group is further determined in accordance with a center frequency of one of the plurality of carriers included in the certain frequency range.

5. The wireless communication method according to claim 3 , wherein

the certain frequency range is determined in accordance with at least one of moving speeds of the first wireless communication apparatus and the second wireless communication apparatus.

6. The wireless communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the carrier group is periodically determined.

7. The wireless communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

reception quality includes a shielding degree.

8. The wireless communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of bandwidths is assigned for a wireless communication channel.

9. A wireless communication apparatus for transmitting a plurality of wireless signals using a plurality of carriers to a different wireless communication apparatus, each of the plurality of carriers having each of a plurality of bandwidths, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to

determine a carrier group including at least two of the plurality of carriers,

transmit group power control information for controlling a transmission power of the carrier group, the group power control information being generated in accordance with a reception quality of the carrier group, the reception quality of the carrier group being obtained based on at least one of the plurality of wireless signals that has a carrier included in the carrier group, and

receive the plurality of wireless signals in accordance with the group power control information; wherein

the carrier group is determined based on when an accumulation of variations of transmission power in at least two of the plurality of carriers is equal to or smaller than a predetermined amount.

10. A wireless communication apparatus for receiving a plurality of wireless signals using a plurality of carriers from a different wireless communication apparatus, each of the plurality of carriers having each of a plurality of bandwidths, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to

transmit information on a carrier group including at least two of the plurality of carriers,

receive group power control information for controlling a transmission power of the carrier group, the group power control information being generated in accordance with a reception quality of the carrier group, the reception quality of the carrier group being obtained in based on at least one of the plurality of wireless signals that has a carrier included in the carrier group, and

receive the plurality of wireless signals in accordance with the group power control information; wherein

the carrier group is determined based on when an accumulation of variations of transmission power in at least two of the plurality of carriers is equal to or smaller than a predetermined amount.
