Abstract

A terminal device that communicates with a base station apparatus includes a transmission unit that transmits a channel and/or a signal based on a maximum output power in a first cell group in a certain subframe. The maximum output power in the first cell group is a sum of a power that is determined based on uplink transmission in the first cell group in a certain subframe and a power that is allocated to the first cell group, of a residual power. The residual power is given by subtracting the power that is determined based on the uplink transmission in the first cell group in the certain subframe and a power for a second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal device.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal apparatus that is configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

higher layer processing circuitry configured to configure a first cell group and a second cell group; and

uplink subframe generation circuitry configured to generate a first physical uplink channel of the first cell group, wherein

in a case where a transmission of the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group overlaps in time with a transmission of a second physical uplink channel of the second cell group, a power for the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group is determined based on at least a value that results from subtracting a first power in the first cell group and a second power in the second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal apparatus.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the first cell group is an MCG, the second cell group is an SCG, and the first physical uplink channel is a PUCCH that includes UCI which does not include a HARQ-ACK or an SR, the first power includes at least a power for PUCCH transmission of the UCI that includes the HARQ-ACK in the first cell group, and the second power includes at least a power for the PUCCH transmission of the UCI that includes the HARQ-ACK in the second cell group, or a power for PUSCH transmission of the UCI that includes the HARQ-ACK in the second cell group.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the first cell group is an SCG, the second cell group is an MCG, and the first physical uplink channel is a PUCCH that includes UCI which does not include a HARQ-ACK or an SR, the first power includes at least a power for transmission of a PUCCH that includes the UCI which includes the HARQ-ACK in the first cell group, and the second power includes at least a power for the transmission of the PUCCH in the second cell group or a power for transmission of PUSCH that includes the UCI in the second cell group.

4. A base station apparatus that is configured to communicate with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

higher layer processing circuitry configured to configure a first cell group and a second cell group; and

reception circuitry configured to receive a first physical uplink channel of the first cell group, wherein

in a case where a transmission of the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group overlaps in time with a transmission of a second physical uplink channel of the second cell group, a power for the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group is determined based on at least a value that results from subtracting a first power in the first cell group and a second power in the second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal apparatus.

5. The base station apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein, in a case where the first cell group is an MCG, the second cell group is an SCG, and the first physical uplink channel is a PUCCH that includes UCI which does not include a HARQ-ACK or an SR, the first power includes at least a power for PUCCH transmission of the UCI that includes the HARQ-ACK in the first cell group, and the second power includes at least a power for the PUCCH transmission of the UCI that includes the HARQ-ACK in the second cell group, or a power for PUSCH transmission of the UCI that includes the HARQ-ACK in the second cell group.

6. The base station apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein, in a case where the first cell group is an SCG, the second cell group is an MCG, and the first physical uplink channel is a PUCCH that includes UCI which does not include a HARQ-ACK or an SR, the first power includes at least a power for transmission of a PUCCH that includes the UCI which includes the HARQ-ACK in the first cell group, and the second power includes at least a power for the transmission of the PUCCH in the second cell group or a power for transmission of a PUSCH that includes the UCI in the second cell group.

7. A communication method that is used in a terminal apparatus which is configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

a step of configuring a first cell group and a second cell group; and

a step of generating a first physical uplink channel of the first cell group, wherein

in a case where a transmission of the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group overlaps in time with a transmission of a second physical uplink channel of the second cell group, a power for the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group is determined based on at least a value that results from subtracting a first power in the first cell group and a second power in the second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal apparatus.

8. A communication method that is used in a base station apparatus which is configured to communicate with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

a step of configuring a first cell group and a second cell group; and

a step of receiving a first physical uplink channel of the first cell group, wherein

in a case where a transmission of the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group overlaps in time with a transmission of a second physical uplink channel of the second cell group, a power for the first physical uplink channel of the first cell group is determined based on at least a value that results from subtracting a first power in the first cell group and a second power in the second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal apparatus.
