Abstract

A terminal includes circuitry and a transmitter. The circuitry, in operation, determines a first transmission power for a first uplink signal and a second transmission power for a second uplink signal by prioritizing allocation of a transmission power to the second transmission power for the second uplink signal, responsive to, in a first transmission time interval (TTI) where the first uplink signal is transmitted, the second uplink signal being transmitted in a second TTI that is shorter than the first TTI. The transmitter, in operation, transmits the first uplink signal with the determined first transmission power and transmits the second uplink signal with the determined second transmission power.

Claims (15)

1. A terminal comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation, determines a first transmission power for a first uplink signal and a second transmission power for a second uplink signal by prioritizing allocation of a transmission power to the second transmission power for the second uplink signal, when, in a first transmission time interval (TTI) where the first uplink signal is transmitted, the second uplink signal is transmitted in a second TTI that is shorter than the first TTI that includes a first section and a second section, each of which being a unit for which a transmission power is determined; and

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the first uplink signal with the determined first transmission power and transmits the second uplink signal with the determined second transmission power,

wherein a reference signal is not shared between the first section and the second section.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second uplink signal is prioritized over the first uplink signal.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second uplink signal includes a scheduling request (SR) or a hybrid automatic repeat request ACK (HARQ-ACK), and the first uplink signal is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) without uplink control information.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a transmission power in the second section is changeable from a transmission power in the first section.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second uplink signal is transmitted on the second section.

6. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a transient period for the second uplink signal is configured in a section other than a symbol to which an uplink signal with a high priority is mapped.

7. The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the transient period is configured in a section other than the second TTI.

8. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the uplink signal with a high priority is a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

9. A transmission method comprising:

determining a first transmission power for a first uplink signal and a second transmission power for a second uplink signal by prioritizing allocation of a transmission power to the second transmission power for the second uplink signal, when, in a first transmission time interval (TTI) where the first uplink signal is transmitted, the second uplink signal is transmitted in a second TTI that is shorter than the first TTI that includes a first section and a second section, each of which being a unit for which a transmission power is determined; and

transmitting the first uplink signal with the determined first transmission power and transmits the second uplink signal with the determined second transmission power,

wherein a reference signal is not shared between the first section and the second section.
