- the user terminal when the user terminal detects that the transmission power of the user terminal has reached the maximum transmission power, the user terminal performs transmission power control based on a power scaling rule defined in advance. Thereby, it is possible to reliably transmit a signal to be prioritized. In addition, it becomes possible to improve the monitoring of user terminal operations in the network. Note that the user terminal can detect that the transmission power of the user terminal has reached the maximum transmission power, that is, the power limit state, when calculating the transmission power.
- the user terminal When the user terminal detects that its own terminal is in a power limit state when a different physical channel is allocated, the user terminal can perform transmission power control based on the priority order of the physical channel. For example, when a user terminal transmits PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) and PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), which are signals transmitted in the uplink, simultaneously, power may be preferentially allocated to PUCCH. it can.
- PUSCH Physical Uplink Shared Channel
- PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel

- a user terminal can preferentially allocate power to a PUSCH that includes control information over a PUSCH that does not include control information. Also, the user terminal can preferentially allocate power to the PUSCH in which UCI (Uplink Control Information) that is a layer 1 control signal is multiplexed.
- the user terminal includes a control signal (control PDU (Protocol Data Unit)) of a radio link control (RLC: Radio Link Control) layer or a packet data control protocol (PDCP: Packet Data Control Protocol) layer. Power allocation can be preferentially performed on the PUSCH. Further, the user terminal can preferentially allocate power to the PUSCH including the RRC message.
- the user terminal When the user terminal detects that its own terminal is in the power limit state, it can preferentially allocate power to the CC defined by the CC index. Alternatively, the user terminal can preferentially perform power allocation by distinguishing whether the power allocation target is a PCell CC or a SCell CC. For example, the user terminal may preferentially allocate power to the PCell CC. In this case, high-reliable communication can be realized by giving priority to PCell control information.
- the user terminal can perform transmission power control based on the signaled CC.
- the CC for preferentially allocating power may be determined for each physical channel.
- the priority order according to the role of PCell or SCell can be defined. For example, assuming C-plane / U-plane Split, a method of giving priority to CC # 1 for PUCCH and giving priority to CC # 2 and # 3 for PUSCH can be considered.
- a preferred TAG (Timing Advance Group) may be prescribed or signaled. Since different TAGs are generally used in base stations at different positions, changing the priority for each TAG is likely to be equivalent to setting the priority for each base station.
- the user terminal can switch a cell to which power is allocated with priority in time (for example, TTI (Transmission Time Interval) unit), that is, a cell to be preferentially transmitted.
- TTI Transmission Time Interval
- the user terminal may give equal allocation opportunities to each cell by switching the priority order to each CC with equal probability.
- the priority probability of each CC may be designated to a user terminal in an upper layer, for example. Thereby, appropriate network operation and power allocation opportunity control can be realized.
- the base station may be configured to set a priority CC for the user terminal. For example, the base station may notify the CC to be prioritized by including the priority level in the UL grant. When the priorities of a plurality of UL grants are the same, for example, PCell may be prioritized. In addition, the base station may notify the priority CC in the higher layer.
- the maximum transmission power distribution may be configured to be set from the network, or may be configured to calculate according to a predetermined rule.
- the distribution ratio can be defined in advance to be equal distribution.
- the maximum transmission power for each CC can be set to 20 [dBm] of this distribution.
- the maximum transmission power of the other CC is limited even when the transmission power of one CC is extremely small or no transmission is performed.
- unnecessary transmission power limitation can be avoided by distributing transmission power only when the user terminal is in a power limit state.
- power correction may be performed when the user terminal is in a power limit state and exceeds the maximum transmission power limit for each CC.
- the distribution amount may be determined from the viewpoint of the number of allocated resource blocks rather than the transmission power.
- the user terminal can preferentially allocate power to a PUSCH with a large number of allocated resource blocks. In this case, resource consumption when retransmission occurs can be reduced.
- the user terminal may specify the priority of power allocation according to the category of new transmission, retransmission, or number of retransmissions.
- the value of the correction value f c (i) by the command is an unknown variable.
- the path loss PL c , the power offset value ⁇ TF, c (i) based on the modulation scheme and the coding rate, and the correction value f c (i) based on the TPC command are relatively gentle, and Small variations are assumed. Therefore, even if these variables are unknown to the base station, the influence on the transmission power control is small.
- the user terminal can dynamically notify the base station whether or not its own terminal is in a power limit state by using PUSCH or PUCCH. That is, the base station can dynamically grasp whether or not the user terminal is in a power limit state.
- Whether or not the user terminal is in the power limit state can be notified by adding 1 bit to PUSCH or PUCCH and signaling. For example, it can be defined that bit “0” is not in a power limit state and “1” is in a power limit state.
- the base station can grasp whether or not the user terminal is in the power limit state, but it is caused by the own cell (own base station) or by another cell (other base station). I can't figure out what to do.
- bit “00” is not in the power limit state
- “01” is in the power limit state
- the occupied power ratio of the own cell is lower than the reference value
- “10” is in the power limit state
- “11”, in which the occupied power ratio of the cell is higher than the reference value can be defined as reserved.
- the reference value for determining the level of the occupied power ratio of the own cell may be specified in the RRC or MAC layer, or may be equally distributed for each CC.
- the occupied power ratio is not a simple ratio, and it may be notified whether or not there is a margin for the remaining power after performing the minimum resource allocation in other cells.
- the user terminal may notify that its own terminal is in a power limit state by a new MAC control signal (MAC control element).
- MAC control element MAC control signal
- the user terminal When the transmission power exceeds the reference value, the user terminal notifies any base station or CC of the excess and the excess CC.
- the reference value of the transmission power may be notified in the RRC or MAC layer.
- the user terminal may notify the excess amount and the excess CC when the transmission power exceeds the reference value by using the current PHR.
- the excess when the transmission power exceeds the reference value means a negative PH.
- the user terminal may notify the reference value of the transmission power in the P CMAX, c field, notify the excess power by PH, and notify that PH is a negative value by the reserved bit.
