Abstract

A terminal includes a transmitter that transmits, to a base station apparatus, UE capability including information indicating a supported frequency band and a power class at least defining spherical coverage in the frequency band; and a receiver that receives, from the base station apparatus, information on power control; wherein the transmitter further transmits, to the base station apparatus, an uplink transmission signal to which transmit power control based on at least one of the information on power control or the power class is applied.

Claims (16)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a base station apparatus, UE capability including information indicating a supported frequency band and information indicating a power class and spherical coverage in the frequency band; and

a receiver that receives, from the base station apparatus, information on power control,

wherein the transmitter further transmits, to the base station apparatus, an uplink transmission signal to which transmit power control based on at least one of the information on power control or the power class is applied, and

wherein the spherical coverage is defined by an Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) value at a given percentile value of a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) representing spherically radiated power.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, for each of supported frequency bands, the power class further defines at least one of a minimum peak EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) value, a maximum allowed EIRP value and a maximum transmit power value.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

a receiver that receives, from a terminal, UE capability including information indicating a frequency band supported by the terminal and information indicating a power class and spherical coverage in the frequency band; and

a transmitter that transmits, to the terminal, information on power control,

wherein the receiver further receives, from the terminal, an uplink transmission signal to which transmit power control based on at least one of the information on power control or the power class is applied, and

wherein the spherical coverage is defined by an Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) value at a given percentile value of a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) representing spherically radiated power.

4. A communication method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station apparatus, UE capability including information indicating a supported frequency band and information indicating a power class and spherical coverage in the frequency band;

receiving, from the base station apparatus, information on power control; and

transmitting, to the base station apparatus, an uplink transmission signal to which transmit power control based on at least one of the information on power control or the power class is applied,

wherein the spherical coverage is defined by an Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) value at a given percentile value of a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) representing spherically radiated power.
