Abstract

Communication is suitably continued even when communication is performed by using a plurality of waveforms. A user terminal according to one aspect of the present invention includes: a transmission section that transmits a first signal and a second signal by using respectively different radio resources, the first signal conforming to a first transmission scheme-based waveform and the second signal conforming to a second transmission scheme-based waveform; and a control section that performs transmit power control on a signal to be transmitted.

Claims (26)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that controls transmit power of an uplink signal; and

a transmitter that transmits either of a first uplink signal conforming to a first transmission scheme-based waveform and a second uplink signal conforming to a second transmission scheme-based waveform based on the transmit power,

wherein when the uplink signal is switched between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal, the processor updates a correction value based on a Transmit Power Control (TPC) command after switching, by using a correction value immediately before the switching.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls the transmit power by using permitted maximum transmit power that is different between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom based on a signal to transmit.

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom based on a signal to transmit.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using permitted maximum transmit power that is different between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal.

6. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using permitted maximum transmit power that is different between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal.

7. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using permitted maximum transmit power that is different between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal.

8. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using the correction value.

9. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using the correction value.

10. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using the correction value.

11. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the processor computes a power headroom by using the correction value.

12. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first transmission scheme-based waveform corresponds to a Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM)-based waveform and the second transmission scheme-based waveform corresponds to a Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM)-based waveform.

13. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

controlling transmit power of an uplink signal; and

transmitting either of a first uplink signal conforming to a first transmission scheme-based waveform and a second uplink signal conforming to a second transmission scheme-based waveform based on the transmit power,

wherein when the uplink signal is switched between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal, the terminal updates a correction value based on a Transmit Power Control (TPC) command after switching, by using a correction value immediately before the switching.

14. A system comprising:

a terminal that comprises:

a processor that controls transmit power of an uplink signal; and

a transmitter that transmits either of a first uplink signal conforming to a first transmission scheme-based waveform and a second uplink signal conforming to a second transmission scheme-based waveform based on the transmit power,

wherein when the uplink signal is switched between the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal, the processor updates a correction value based on a Transmit Power Control (TPC) command after switching, by using a correction value immediately before the switching; and

a base station that comprises:

a receiver that receives either of the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal.
