Abstract

With respect to uplink carrier aggregation, transmit power in a serving cell (c) is determined on the basis of maximum output power (P CMAX,C ) for the serving cell c and total maximum output power (P CMAX ). The maximum output power (P CMAX, C ) for the serving cell (c) is based on maximum output power (P PowerClass ) defined by a power class corresponding to a band to which the serving cell (c) belongs, and the total maximum output power (P CMAX ) is based on maximum output power (P PowerClass ) defined by a power class corresponding to a combination of aggregated bands.

Claims (20)

1. A terminal device comprising:

reception circuitry configured to and/or programmed to receive information which includes a parameter P-Max, the P-Max being used to limit the uplink transmission power on a first serving cell,

transmission circuitry configured to and/or programmed to transmit information which indicates at least two power classes, the at least two power classes corresponding to different bands, and

power control circuitry configured to and/or programmed to set transmit power for a transmission in the first serving cell based on at least first maximum output power P CMAX,c for the first serving cell, the first maximum output power P CMAX,c being within a range based on at least (i) second maximum output power P PowerClass , (ii) the parameter P-Max for the first serving cell and (iii) a first tolerance, wherein

the second maximum output power P PowerClass is defined by one of the at least two power class, the one of the at least two power class corresponding to a band to which the first serving cell belongs.

2. A base station device comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to and/or programmed to transmit information which includes a parameter P-Max, the P-Max being used to limit the uplink transmission power on a first serving cell, and

reception circuitry configured to and/or programmed to receive, from a terminal device, information which indicates at least two power classes, the at least two power classes corresponding to different bands

transmit power for a transmission in the first serving cell by the terminal device is set based on at least first maximum output power P CMAX,c for the first serving cell, the first maximum output power P CMAX,c being within a range based on at least (i) second maximum output power P PowerClass which is defined by the first power class (ii) the parameter P-Max for the first serving cell and (iii) a first tolerance, wherein

the second maximum output power P PowerClass is defined by one of the at least two power class, the one of the at least two power class corresponding to a band to which the first serving cell belongs.

3. A communication method of a terminal device, the communication method comprising:

receiving information which includes a parameter P-Max, the P-Max being used to limit the uplink transmission power on a first serving cell,

transmitting information which indicates at least two power classes, the at least two power classes corresponding to different bands, and

setting transmit power for a transmission in the first serving cell based on at least first maximum output power P CMAX,c for the first serving cell, the first maximum output power P CMAX,c being within a range based on at least (i) second maximum output power P PowerClass which is defined by the first power class, (ii) the parameter P-Max for the first serving cell and (iii) a first tolerance, wherein

the second maximum output power P PowerClass is defined by one of the at least two power class, the one of the at least two power class corresponding to a band to which the first serving cell belongs.

4. A communication method of a base station device, the communication method comprising:

transmitting information which includes a parameter P-Max, the P-Max being used to limit the uplink transmission power on a first serving cell, and

receiving, from a terminal device, information which indicates at least two power classes, the at least two power classes corresponding to different bands

transmit power for a transmission in the first serving cell by the terminal device is set based on at least first maximum output power P CMAX,c for the first serving cell, the first maximum output power P CMAX,c being within a range based on at least (i) second maximum output power P PowerClass which is defined by the first power class, (ii) the parameter P-Max for the first serving cell and (iii) a first tolerance, wherein

the second maximum output power P PowerClass is defined by one of the at least two power class, the one of the at least two power class corresponding to a band to which the first serving cell belongs.
