207. According to the power calibration value of the uplink channel data signal, the power calibration value of the DMRS, a preset hardware power control parameter and a baseband processing characteristic parameter, the UE firstly carries out power calibration of the uplink channel data signal and power calibration of the DMRS in a baseband processing flow respectively, and then carries out power calibration of the uplink channel data signal and power calibration of the DMRS in a unified manner in the hardware power control flow.
The UE can firstly respectively carry out power calibration of the uplink channel data signal and power calibration of the DMRS in the baseband processing flow according to the calculated power increment in the uplink channel data signal generation process and the calculated power increment in the DMRS generation process and according to preset hardware power control parameters and baseband processing characteristic parameters, then uniformly carry out power calibration of the uplink channel data signal and power calibration of the DMRS in the hardware power control flow, and the uplink channel data signal and the demodulation reference signal after power calibration have a power level grade with zero error in a subframe.
The power calibration can be realized by baseband signals of a software part, hardware realization and combination of software and hardware; preferably, the present embodiment may be implemented by combining software and hardware, where the calibration value includes power calibration of a baseband signal processing section and power calibration of a hardware section, and specifically includes the following steps:

As can be seen from (1) and (2) above, the baseband adjustment adjusts the power of the data and the DMRS respectively; it can be seen from (3) that the hardware part only needs to be as follows for Data and DMRSThe value is adjusted once.
In the embodiment, the power change is not considered in the generation process of the baseband signal, so that the generation precision of the baseband signal is effectively ensured;
secondly, the UE records the power increment introduced in the baseband signal processing and compensates the power increment into the baseband signal through power calibration; during power compensation, the power of the decimal dB part is compensated at a baseband; the radio frequency only calibrates the power of an integer dB part, which effectively combines the characteristics of software and hardware power control, and greatly reduces the complexity and cost of hardware power control while ensuring the precision;
and thirdly, the UE adjusts the power of the uplink channel data signal and the demodulation reference signal in the same subframe to the same power level in the baseband signal processing, thereby powerfully ensuring the performance of the base station end for performing channel estimation and data signal detection by using the demodulation reference signal. Hardware power control is not needed to be carried out on the uplink channel data signal and the demodulation reference signal respectively, and one uplink subframe only needs to be subjected to power control once through hardware, so that the complexity, precision loss and power consumption of hardware processing are reduced.
