Further, the first wireless transmission unit 106 and the second wireless transmission unit 107 are deleted, and a first wireless transmission unit 302-1 to an Nth data signal generation unit 302-N are added. Furthermore, the transmission power control unit 108 is different from the transmission power control unit 303. Other blocks denoted by the same reference numerals have the same functions.

- different priorities may be set based on the number of assigned RBs of signals transmitted to each base station.
- the desired transmission power of each signal increases in proportion to the number of RBs M PUSCH, c (i). Therefore, priority is given to signals having a large number of RBs and a high desired transmission power. Therefore, it is possible to distribute the transmission power.
- different priorities may be set based on propagation loss (path loss) to the base station. Even in this case, as shown in the equation (1), the signal having a larger path loss PL c has a higher desired transmission power, and therefore, the transmission power can be preferentially allocated to a signal having a higher desired transmission power.
- the transmission power is preferentially allocated to a specific base station in order to improve power utilization efficiency.
- the error rate of a signal to which power is preferentially allocated is lower than that of other signals because of its nature. Therefore, when information with different priorities is transmitted simultaneously, it is effective to transmit information with a higher priority as a signal to which power is preferentially allocated.

Abstract
Description
本実施形態では、図1に示すスモールセル11のエリアが十分に狭く、端末装置3がLPNに接続する際は、式(1)で算出される所望送信電力においてPPUSCH,macro(i)>PPUSCH,small(i)が成り立つ場合を想定する。そしてpPUSCH,macro(i)+pPUSCH,small(i)>pCMAX(i)となる場合、本実施形態に係る端末装置は次式(3)を満たすようにスケーリングファクターw(i)の設定を行なう。
第1の実施形態では、異なるCCでマクロ基地局とLPNに対し同時に信号を送信する際に、LPNへ送信する信号に対して優先して送信電力を割り当てる形態を示した。この様な形態はLPNへの信号の送信電力がマクロ基地局への信号の送信電力に比べて極めて低い場合に、電力の利用効率を改善する点で有効である。ただし、LPNへの信号の送信電力がマクロ基地局までの送信号の送信電力とあまり変わらない場合、LPNへ送信する信号を優先した結果、マクロ基地局へ送信する信号の送信電力を小さい重みでスケーリングすることになり受信品質が著しく低下させる可能性がある。
第1の実施形態および第2の実施形態では、マクロ基地局とLPNが各々1つ存在する場合にLPNに対して優先的に送信電力を配分する形態について示した。第3の実施形態では、端末装置が3つ以上の基地局に対して同時に接続する場合の送信電力の配分について示す。
