Abstract

This terminal comprises: a control circuit that controls transmission power of a sidelink on the basis of information about a power control method corresponding to the purpose of usage of a communication link at a base station; and a transmission circuit that carries out sidelink transmission in accordance with the control of the transmission power.

Claims (29)

1 . A terminal comprising:

control circuitry, which, in operation, performs control of transmission power of an uplink based on information on a power control method that depends on a use of a communication link in a base station, the information being indicated by higher layer signaling; and

transmission circuitry, which, in operation, performs uplink transmission in accordance with the control of the transmission power, wherein,

the information includes a plurality of power control parameters, each of which includes a combination of a target reception power and a path loss compensation rate, the plurality of power control parameters being individual for a first symbol and a second symbol that is not the first symbol, and

one of the plurality of power control parameters is selected based on an assignment pattern of the first symbol and the second symbol.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of uses of the communication link include a downlink and an uplink, and

the plurality of power control parameters include parameters individual for the downlink and the uplink.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of uses of the communication link include a downlink and an uplink, and

the first symbol and the second symbol are one of a symbol of the downlink, a symbol of the uplink, and a symbol usable for either the downlink or the uplink, respectively.

4 . The terminal according to claim 1 , comprising

reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives the higher layer signaling for configuring a power control parameter to be applied to a time resource of the uplink transmission, wherein

the control circuitry selects one of the plurality of power control parameters based on the higher layer signaling.

5 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the assignment pattern includes a symbol corresponding to at least one of a downlink, an uplink, and/or a flexible link, and

the control circuitry selects, in the assignment pattern, at least one of the plurality of power control parameters which corresponds to a larger number of symbols among symbols corresponding to the downlink, the uplink, and the flexible link.

6 . The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein

the control circuitry selects at least one of the plurality of power control parameters based on the assignment pattern after a change of the flexible link to either the downlink or the uplink.

7 . The terminal according to claim 1 , comprising

reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives downlink control information indicating at least one of the plurality of power control parameters to be applied to a symbol of the uplink transmission, wherein

the control circuitry selects any one of the plurality of power control parameters based on the downlink control information.

8 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the information includes information on a power control equation that depends on the use.

9 . A communication method comprising:

performing, by a terminal, control of transmission power of an uplink based on information on a power control method that depends on a use of a communication link in a base station, the information being indicated by higher layer signaling; and

performing, by the terminal, uplink transmission in accordance with the control of the transmission power, wherein,

the information includes a plurality of power control parameters, each of which includes a combination of a target reception power and a path loss compensation rate, the plurality of power control parameters being individual for a first symbol and a second symbol that is not the first symbol, and

one of the plurality of power control parameters is selected based on an assignment pattern of the first symbol and the second symbol.
