The uplink power control of employing SA technology and Release's ' 8 is similar in the LTE-Advanced system, with reference to " 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) know-why and system ", Shen Jia, ppll1-113, calculate respectively subcarrier (component carrier according to formula (1) and (2), CC) PUSCH and the power of PUCCH

P _PUSCH，k＝10·log ₁₀M _PUSCH(k)+P _{0_PUSCH}(k)+α(k)·PL(k)+Δ _TF(k)+f(k)(1)

P _PUCCH，k＝P _{0_PUCCH}(k)+PL(k)+h(·)+Δ _{F_PUCCH}(·)+g(k)(2)

(1) in, k is the label of CC, M _PUSCHThe resource block number of PUSCH, P _{0_PUSCH}Be the specific or specific parameter of UE in residential quarter, α is the specific path compensation coefficient in residential quarter, and PL is the path fading loss value of down-run survey, Δ _TFBe the parameter for certain specific MCS (modulation coding mode) of rrc layer appointment, f is the function relevant with residential quarter specific transmitting power Control loop correction factor by high level control.

(2) in, P _{0_PUCCH}Be the specific or specific parameter of UE in residential quarter, PL is the path fading loss value of down-run survey, and h is the PUCCH format parameter, Δ _{F_PUCCH}Be the parameter of rrc layer appointment, g is the function relevant with residential quarter specific transmitting power Control loop correction factor by high level control.
