Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A user equipment communicates with a base station using a first RAT and a second RAT, including: a transmission unit to perform uplink transmission using the first RAT and the second RAT; a control unit to, if a sum of transmission powers of the uplink transmission via the first RAT and the second RAT exceeds a predetermined maximum transmission power, reduce the transmission power of the uplink transmission via the second RAT. If the sum exceeds a maximum transmission power and the transmission unit fails to transmit random access preamble via the second RAT and re-transmits the random access preamble, or if dynamic power sharing is not supported and the random access preamble is not transmitted via the second RAT in a slot where an uplink transmission via the first RAT is scheduled, the control unit changes transmission power control for the re-transmitted random access preamble from normal control.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal that communicates with a plurality of base stations in a dual connectivity using a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a second RAT, the terminal comprising: a control unit configured to, based on a sum of an uplink transmission power via the first RAT and an uplink transmission power via the second RAT, and a power ramping counter, control transmission power of a random access preamble via the second RAT; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the random access preamble via the second RAT based on the transmission power of the random access preamble. 2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the sum of the uplink transmission power via the first RAT and the uplink transmission power via the second RAT exceeds a total maximum transmission power in the dual connectivity, the control unit controls the transmission unit not to transmit the random access preamble, and suspends the power ramping counter. 3. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the sum of the uplink transmission power via the first RAT and the uplink transmission power via the second RAT exceeds a total maximum transmission power in the dual connectivity, the control unit reduces the transmission power of the random access preamble, and suspends the power ramping counter. 4. The terminal as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, in a case where the sum of the uplink transmission power via the first RAT and the uplink transmission power via the second RAT exceeds a total maximum transmission power in the dual connectivity and where a reduced amount of the transmission power of the random access preamble exceeds a threshold value, the control unit suspends the power ramping counter. 5. The terminal as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, in a case where the sum of the uplink transmission power via the first RAT and the uplink transmission power via the second RAT exceeds a total maximum transmission power in the dual connectivity and where a reduced amount of the transmission power of the random access preamble exceeds a threshold value, the control unit does not transmit the random access preamble. 6. A communication method performed by a terminal that communicates with a plurality of base stations in a dual connectivity using a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a second RAT, the communication method comprising: controlling, based on a sum of an uplink transmission power via the first RAT and an uplink transmission power via the second RAT, and a power ramping counter, transmission power of a random access preamble via the second RAT; and transmitting the random access preamble via the second RAT based on the transmission power of the random access preamble.
