## Abstract

In a mobile communication system, UE 100-1 that transmits a radio signal to a transmission target receives a plurality of TPC parameters from eNB 200 and control a transmission power of the radio signal, on the basis of the plurality of TPC parameters. The plurality of TPC parameters include: a first TPC parameter (TPC parameter A, B) applied to a single transmission in which one radio signal is singly transmitted; and a second TPC parameter (TPC parameter C) applied to a simultaneous transmission in which a plurality of radio signals (radio signal SG1, SG2) different in frequency are simultaneously transmitted to a plurality of transmission targets.

a controller configured to:
determine first transmission power for the single transmission based on the first transmission power control parameter, the first transmission power being used for transmitting radio signals to the first base station; and
determine second transmission power and third transmission power for the dual simultaneous transmission based on the second transmission power control parameter, the second transmission power being used for transmitting a radio signal to the first base station, and the third transmission power being used for transmitting a radio signal to the second base station.
