Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an uplink transmission power determining method and a user equipment. A user equipment determines a transmission situation of at least one of: a PUCCH, a PUSCH, and an SRS on another cell except a secondary cell in a subframe corresponding to a preamble to be transmitted on the secondary cell, so that the user equipment can determine an uplink transmission power of the user equipment according to the determined transmission situation, thereby solving a problem that it is not provided in the prior art that how a user equipment determines an uplink transmission power of the user equipment when random access is executed through a secondary cell.
Claims10
A communication method in which a user equipment may communicate with a base station through more than one cell of a wireless communications system, the method comprising:
- determining, by the user equipment, a first transmission power of a preamble random access channel (PRACH) in a secondary cell and a second transmission power of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a cell other than the secondary cell;
- transmitting, by the user equipment, a random access preamble using the first transmission power on the PRACH in the secondary cell;
- and
- transmitting, by the user equipment, information using the second transmission power on the PUCCH in the other cell rather than the secondary cell,
- wherein the first transmission power of the PRACH is the smaller of a maximum allowable power of the secondary cell and a sum power, the sum power equals a sum of a target received power of the random access preamble and a target path loss of the secondary cell and the second transmission power of the PUCCH is the smaller of (i) a transmission power of the PUCCH obtained by the user equipment by performing uplink power control and (ii) a difference between the maximum allowable power of the secondary cell and the first transmission power of the PRACH.
A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- determining a first transmission power of a preamble random access channel (PRACH) in a secondary cell and a second transmission power of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a cell other than the secondary cell;
- transmitting a random access preamble using the first transmission power on the PRACH in the secondary cell;
- and
- transmitting information using the second transmission power on the PUCCH in the other cell rather than the secondary cell,
- wherein the first transmission power of the PRACH is the smaller of a maximum allowable power of the secondary cell and a sum power, the sum power equals a sum of a target received power of the random access preamble and a target path loss of the secondary cell, and the second transmission power of the PUCCH is the smaller of (i) a transmission power of the PUCCH obtained by the user equipment by performing uplink power control and (ii) a difference between the maximum allowable power of the secondary cell and the first transmission power of the PRACH.
