Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a power control method and apparatus. The method comprises: determining an effective transmit power control (TPC) command window according to a preset physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a plurality of PDCCHs that are repeatedly transmitted, the preset PDCCH comprising the first PDCCH or the last PDCCH in the plurality of PDCCHs; determining a closed-loop power adjustment state according to a TPC command in the effective TPC command window; and according to the closed-loop power adjustment state, determining the transmit power of an uplink signal of a terminal device.

Claims (44)

1. A power control method, comprising:

determining an effective transmit power control (TPC) command window according to a preset physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs, wherein the preset PDCCH comprises a last PDCCH in the plurality of PDCCHs;

determining a closed-loop power adjustment state according to a TPC command in the effective TPC command window; and

determining a transmit power of an uplink signal of a terminal device according to the closed-loop power adjustment state,

wherein the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs comprises:

a first PDCCH used for scheduling the uplink signal, and

a repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH used for scheduling a same type of uplink signal most recently before the first PDCCH used for scheduling the uplink signal, wherein a last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH is transmitted before the first PDCCH, and

wherein determining the effective TPC command window according to the preset PDCCH in the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs comprises:

determining a window between a first OFDM symbol after the last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH and a last OFDM symbol of the first PDCCH as the effective TPC command window.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first PDCCH is a headmost PDCCH or a last PDCCH in a plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs used for scheduling the uplink signal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the closed-loop power adjustment state is an accumulation mode.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the closed-loop power adjustment state is an accumulation mode, and the first PDCCH is repeatedly transmitted;

the determining the effective transmit power control (TPC) command window according to the preset physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs comprises:

determining a window between the first OFDM symbol after the last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH and a last OFDM symbol of a last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted first PDCCH as the effective TPC command window.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal comprises at least one of: a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), or a sounding reference signal (SRS).

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs occupy different time domain resources.

7. A power control apparatus, comprising:

a transceiver, a processor, and a memory;

wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions;

the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, causing the processor to:

determine an effective transmit power control (TPC) command window according to a preset physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs, wherein the preset PDCCH comprises a last PDCCH in the plurality of PDCCHs;

determine a closed-loop power adjustment state according to a TPC command in the effective TPC command window; and

determine a transmit power of an uplink signal of a terminal device according to the closed-loop power adjustment state,

wherein the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs comprises:

a first PDCCH used for scheduling the uplink signal, and

a repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH used for scheduling a same type of uplink signal most recently before the first PDCCH used for scheduling the uplink signal, wherein a last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH is transmitted before the first PDCCH, and

wherein in determining the effective TPC command window according to the preset PDCCH in the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs, the processor is specifically configured to:

determine a window between a first OFDM symbol after the last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH and a last OFDM symbol of the first PDCCH as the effective TPC command window.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the first PDCCH is a headmost PDCCH or a last PDCCH in a plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs used for scheduling the uplink signal.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the closed-loop power adjustment state is an accumulation mode.

10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the closed-loop power adjustment state is an accumulation mode, and the first PDCCH is repeatedly transmitted;

the processor is specifically configured to:

determine a window between the first OFDM symbol after the last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH and a last OFDM symbol of a last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted first PDCCH as the effective TPC command window.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the uplink signal comprises at least one of: a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), or a sounding reference signal (SRS).

12. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs occupy different time domain resources.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein computer-executable instructions are stored in the computer-readable storage medium, and when the computer-executable instructions are executed by a processor, the processor is configured to:

determine an effective transmit power control (TPC) command window according to a preset physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs, wherein the preset PDCCH comprises a last PDCCH in the plurality of PDCCHs;

determine a closed-loop power adjustment state according to a TPC command in the effective TPC command window; and

determine a transmit power of an uplink signal of a terminal device according to the closed-loop power adjustment state,

wherein the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs comprises:

a first PDCCH used for scheduling the uplink signal, and

a repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH used for scheduling a same type of uplink signal most recently before the first PDCCH used for scheduling the uplink signal, wherein a last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH is transmitted before the first PDCCH, and

wherein in determining the effective TPC command window according to the preset PDCCH in the plurality of repeatedly transmitted PDCCHs, the processor is further configured to:

determine a window between a first OFDM symbol after the last PDCCH in the repeatedly transmitted second PDCCH and a last OFDM symbol of the first PDCCH as the effective TPC command window.
