Abstract

A power control method and device are disclosed. The method comprises: a user equipment receiving a power adjustment value corresponding to transmit diversity determined and sent by a network side device; the user equipment determines a transmission power for a PUCCH transmission according to the power adjustment value. In the embodiment of the present invention, the transmission power adopted by the transmission PUCCH channel is determined according to the power adjustment value corresponding to the transmission diversity, solving the problem of inaccurate power control after introducing the PUCCH transmission diversity, so that each PUCCH format is capable of performing transmission diversity power control independently.

First claim

determine a transmission power for a PUCCH transmission in uplink subframe i according to the formula:
P PUCCH ( i )=min{ P CMAX ,P 0 _ PUCCH +PL+h ( n CQI ,n HARQ )+Δ F _ PUCCH ( F )+Γ TxD ( F ′)+ g ( i )};

and
perform a PUCCH transmission with the determined transmission power,
wherein P CMAX represents maximum UE transmission power configured by higher layers,
parameter Δ F _ PUCCH (F) represents a parameter from higher layer configuration,
h(n) represents power offset relevant to a number of bits carried by PUCCH,
n CQI corresponds to a number of carried CQI bits,
n HARQ corresponds a number of carried ACK/NACK bits,
P O _ PUCCH represents the target value of transmission power,
g(i) representing the cumulative power control commands,
PL representing path loss value measured by UE, and
Γ TxD (F′) represents the power adjustment value corresponding to transmit diversity for PUCCH format F′.
