Abstract

Provided is a user equipment in a radio communication system including a base station and the user equipment. The user equipment includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a first transmission power parameter in a case of using OFDM in an uplink and a second transmission power parameter in a case of using DFT-s-OFDM in the uplink; and a control unit that controls transmission power of an uplink signal by using the first transmission power parameter in a case of using ODFM in the uplink, and controls transmission power of the uplink signal by using the second transmission power parameter in a case of using DFT-s-OFDM in the uplink.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal comprising:

a control unit that controls transmission power of an uplink signal by using a first transmission power parameter that is applied in a case of using OFDM in uplink, and controls transmission power of an uplink signal by using a second transmission power parameter that is applied in a case of using DFT-s-OFDM in the uplink; and

a transmission unit that transmits the uplink signal with the transmission power,

wherein the first transmission power parameter and the second transmission power parameter are determined in accordance with a modulation method used for uplink transmission, and

wherein the modulation method includes at least one of QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256 QAM.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the first transmission power parameter includes a maximum power reduction and an additional maximum power reduction which are applied in a case of using OFDM in the uplink, and

the second transmission power parameter includes a maximum power reduction and an additional maximum power reduction which are applied in a case of using DFT-s-OFDM in the uplink.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 ,

wherein a plurality of the first transmission power parameters and a plurality of the second transmission power parameters are defined in correspondence with UE capability or a UE category.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein a plurality of the first transmission power parameters and a plurality of the second transmission power parameters are defined in correspondence with terminal capability or a terminal category.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal acquires the first transmission power parameter and the second transmission power parameter from a base station.

6. A base station in a radio communication system including a plurality of the base stations and a terminal, the base station comprising:

an acquisition unit that acquires information, which indicates that another base station is capable of applying both OFDM and DFT-s-OFDM in an uplink, or indicates that the other base station uses only OFDM in the uplink, from the other base station; and

a control unit that changes a transmission power parameter, which is applied to transmission of an uplink signal by the terminal, between a case where both OFDM and DFT-s-OFDM are capable of being applied to the uplink by the other base station, and a case where only OFDM is used in the uplink by the other base station.

7. A transmission power control method comprising:

a step of controlling transmission power of an uplink signal by using a first transmission power parameter that is applied in a case of using OFDM in uplink, and controlling transmission power of an uplink signal by using a second transmission power parameter in a case of using DFT-s-OFDM in the uplink; and

a step of transmitting the uplink signal with the transmission power,

wherein the first transmission power parameter and the second transmission power parameter are determined in accordance with a modulation method used for uplink transmission, and

wherein the modulation method includes at least one of QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256 QAM.
