The transmission power determination unit reserves desired transmission power for the uplink signal of the second TTI in the first TTI in a case where decoding of the downlink control information indicative of allocation of the uplink signal of the second TTI to be transmitted within the first TTI (e.g., a subframe) is completed before start of transmission of the uplink signal of the first TTI. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A terminal comprising: circuitry, which, in operation, determines a first transmission power of a first uplink signal for a first transmission time interval of a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second transmission power of a second uplink signal for a second transmission time interval of a second RAT, the first transmission time interval being longer than the second transmission time interval; and a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the first uplink signal in the first transmission time interval with the first transmission power, and transmits the second uplink signal in the second transmission time interval with the second transmission power, wherein the circuitry, in operation, determines the first transmission power for the first uplink signal and the second transmission power for the second uplink signal by reserving the first transmission power for the first uplink signal, the first transmission time interval is one subframe, the second transmission time interval is shorter than one subframe, the first RAT is a long term evolution (LTE), and the second RAT is a new RAT. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry, in operation, priorities the first transmission power for the first uplink signal over the second transmission power for the second uplink signal. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry, in operation, reserves the first transmission power for the first uplink signal in a case where the first uplink signal is prioritized over the second uplink signal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the second transmission time interval is within the first transmission time interval. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein a subcarrier spacing in the first RAT is narrower than a subcarrier spacing in the second RAT. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The terminal according to claim 1, wherein a subcarrier spacing in the first RAT is 15 kHz, and a subcarrier spacing in the second RAT is 60 kHz. ### Claim 7 A communication method comprising: determining a first transmission power of a first uplink signal for a first transmission time interval of a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second transmission power of a second uplink signal for a second transmission time interval of a second RAT, the first transmission time interval being longer than the second transmission time interval; and transmitting the first uplink signal in the first transmission time interval with the first transmission power, and transmits the second uplink signal in the second transmission time interval with the second transmission power, wherein the first transmission power for the first uplink signal and the second transmission power for the second uplink signal are determined by reserving the first transmission power for the first uplink signal, the first transmission time interval is one subframe, the second transmission time interval is shorter than one subframe, the first RAT is a long term evolution (LTE), and the second RAT is a new RAT. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The communication method according to claim 7, wherein the first transmission power for the first uplink signal is prioritized over the second transmission power for the second uplink signal. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The communication method according to claim 7, wherein the first transmission power for the first uplink signal is reserved in a case where the first uplink signal is prioritized over the second uplink signal. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The communication method according to claim 7, wherein the second transmission time interval is within the first transmission time interval. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The communication method according to claim 7, wherein a subcarrier spacing in the first RAT is narrower than a subcarrier spacing in the second RAT. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The communication method according to claim 7, wherein a subcarrier spacing in the first RAT is 15 kHz, and a subcarrier spacing in the second RAT is 60 kHz.
