Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a power control method, a terminal, and a network side device thereof. The power control method may be applied to a terminal, and include obtaining a power control parameter, and controlling retransmission power of a data section in a message of a random access procedure based on the power control parameter.

Claims (43)

1. A method of power control, performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting a message 1 of a 2-step random access channel (RACH) procedure to a network side device;

receiving an instruction from the network side device indicating that the network side device fails to obtain a data section of the message 1 ;

obtaining a power control parameter from the network side device;

retransmitting the message 1 to the network side device in response to the instruction; and

controlling retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power control parameter, wherein the retransmitted message 1 comprises a non-data section comprising control information for assisting the retransmission of the data section,

wherein the power control parameter comprises a power ramping step, and when the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 is less than a specified maximum retransmission power, the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 is positively correlated with a retransmission sequence number of the data section in the message 1 .

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the power control parameter further comprises a power adjustment value.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein obtaining the power control parameter comprises:

receiving a message 2 sent by the network side device, wherein the message 2 comprises a transmit power control (TPC) command that indicates the power adjustment value.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein:

controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power control parameter comprises:

when the power ramping step and the power adjustment value are obtained, controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power adjustment value;

when the power ramping step and the power adjustment value are obtained, controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power ramping step; or

when the power ramping step and the power adjustment value are obtained, controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power adjustment value and the power ramping step.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power control parameter comprises:

determining an amount of power ramping, wherein the amount of power ramping is equal to a product of N and the power ramping step, and N is a sum of an actual number of retransmissions of the data section in the message 1 and 1 ; and

controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the amount of power ramping.

6. A method of power control, performed by a network side device, the method comprising:

after failing to obtain a data section of a message 1 of a 2-step random access channel (RACH) procedure from a terminal, instructing the terminal to retransmit the message 1 to the network side device; and

sending a power control parameter to the terminal, wherein the power control parameter is used to control retransmission power of the data section of the message 1 , wherein the message 1 comprises a non-data section comprising control information for assisting the retransmission of the data section,

wherein the power control parameter comprises a power ramping step, and when the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 is less than a specified maximum retransmission power, the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 is positively correlated with a retransmission sequence number of the data section in the message 1 .

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the power control parameter further comprises a power adjustment value.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein sending the power control parameter to the terminal comprises:

sending a message 2 to the terminal, wherein the message 2 carries a TPC command that comprises the power adjustment value.

9. A terminal, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements operations comprising:

transmitting a message 1 of a 2-step random access channel (RACH) procedure to a network side device;

receiving an instruction from the network side device indicating that the network side device fails to obtain a data section of the message 1 ;

obtaining a power control parameter from the network side device;

retransmitting the message 1 to the network side device in response to the instruction; and

controlling retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power control parameter, wherein the retransmitted message 1 comprises a non-data section comprising control information for assisting the retransmission of the data section,

wherein the power control parameter comprises a power ramping step, and when the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 is less than a specified maximum retransmission power, the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 is positively correlated with a retransmission sequence number of the data section in the message 1 .

10. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the power control parameter further comprises a power adjustment value.

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein obtaining the power control parameter comprises:

receiving a message 2 sent by the network side device, wherein the message 2 comprises a transmit power control (TPC) command that indicates the power adjustment value.

12. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein:

controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power control parameter comprises:

when the power ramping step and the power adjustment value are obtained, controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power adjustment value;

when the power ramping step and the power adjustment value are obtained, controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power ramping step; or

when the power ramping step and the power adjustment value are obtained, controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power adjustment value and the power ramping step.

13. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the power control parameter comprises:

determining an amount of power ramping, wherein the amount of power ramping is equal to a product of N and the power ramping step, and N is a sum of an actual number of retransmissions of the data section in the message 1 and 1 ; and

controlling the retransmission power of the data section of the retransmitted message 1 based on the amount of power ramping.
