Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal apparatus increments a transmit counter based on a failure of random access response reception or contention resolution, and receives information for indicating a higher layer parameter powerRampingStep(1) and information for indicating a higher layer parameter powerRampingStep(2). A transmit power for PRACH transmission in a first step of a 2 step contention based random access procedure is given based at least on the transmission counter and the higher layer parameter powerRampingStep(1), and a transmit power for PUSCH transmission in the first step of the 2 step contention based random access procedure is given based at least on the transmission counter and the higher layer parameter powerRampingStep(2).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal device comprising: control circuitry configured to control a 2-step contention based random-access procedure and a 4-step contention based random-access procedure; and transmission circuitry configured to transmit a physical random access channel with a random access preamble in a first step of the 2-step contention based random-access procedure or in a first step of the 4-step contention based random-access procedure; wherein transmission power for the physical random access channel is given at least based on a PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER; for the 4-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 0 ) and a powerRampingStep( 0 ); and for the 2-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 1 ) and a powerRampingStep( 1 ). 2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 0 ) and the preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 1 ) and the powerRampingStep( 0 ) and the powerRampingStep( 1 ) are given by radio resource control information. 3. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the powerRampingStep( 0 ) is a step size for power ramping up for the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER for the 4-step contention based random access procedure, and the powerRampingStep( 1 ) is a step size for power ramping up for the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER for the 2-step contention based random access procedure. 4. A base station device comprising: control circuitry configured to control a 2-step contention based random-access procedure and a 4-step contention based random-access procedure; and reception circuitry configured to receive a physical random access channel with a random access preamble in a first step of the 2-step contention based random-access procedure or in a first step of the 4-step contention based random-access procedure; wherein transmission power for the physical random access channel is given based at least on a PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER; for the 4-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 0 ) and a powerRampingStep( 0 ); and for the 2-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 1 ) and a powerRampingStep( 1 ). 5. The base station device according to claim 4 , wherein the preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 0 ) and the preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 1 ) and the powerRampingStep( 0 ) and the powerRampingStep( 1 ) are given by radio resource control information. 6. The base station device according to claim 4 , wherein the powerRampingStep( 0 ) is a step size for power ramping up for the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER for the 4-step contention based random access procedure, and the powerRampingStep( 1 ) is a step size for power ramping up for the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER for the 2-step contention based random access procedure. 7. A communication method used for a terminal device comprising: controlling a 2-step contention based random-access procedure and a 4-step contention based random-access procedure; and transmitting a physical random access channel with a random access preamble in a first step of the 2-step contention based random-access procedure or in a first step of the 4-step contention based random-access procedure; wherein transmission power for the physical random access channel is given based at least on a PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER; for the 4-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 0 ) and a powerRampingStep( 0 ); and for the 2-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 1 ) and a powerRampingStep( 1 ). 8. A communication method used for a base station device comprising: controlling a 2-step contention based random-access procedure and a 4-step contention based random-access procedure; and receiving a physical random access channel with a random access preamble in a first step of the 2-step contention based random-access procedure or in a first step of the 4-step contention based random-access procedure; wherein transmission power for the physical random access channel is given based at least on a PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER; for the 4-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 0 ) and a powerRampingStep( 0 ); and for the 2-step contention based random access procedure, the PREAMBLE_RECEIVED_TARGET_POWER is given based at least on a preambleInitialReceivedTargetPower( 1 ) and a powerRampingStep( 1 ).
