Abstract

A wireless communication node sets a downlink target value of a received power of a downlink from an upper node based on a received power of an uplink from a lower node, and transmits, to the upper node, power control information based on the downlink target value.

Claims (8)

1 . A radio communication node comprising:

a Mobile Termination, which is a function for connecting to an IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) donor node;

a Distributed Unit, which is a function for connecting to an IAB child node;

a processor that configures a target value of a downlink transmission power from the IAB donor node; and

a transmitter that indicates, to the IAB donor node, power control information related to the target value using a specific index of LCID (Logical Channel ID) in a MAC-CE (Medium Access Control-Control Element).

2 . A radio communication method performed by a radio communication node including a Mobile Termination, which is a function for connecting to an IAB (Integrated Access and Backhaul) donor node, and a Distributed Unit, which is a function for connecting to an IAB child node, comprising:

configuring a target value of a downlink transmission power from the IAB donor node; and

indicating, to the IAB donor node, power control information related to the target value using a specific index of LCID (Logical Channel ID) in a MAC-CE (Medium Access Control-Control Element).
