  • Publication number: 20170164299
    Abstract: A terminal device that communicates with a base station apparatus includes a transmission unit that transmits a channel and/or a signal based on a maximum output power in a first cell group in a certain subframe. In a case where information relating to uplink transmission in the second cell group is recognized, a residual power is allocated based on a priority level of a type of uplink transmission. The residual power is given by subtracting a power that is determined based on uplink transmission in the first cell group and a power that is determined based on the uplink transmission in the second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal device. The maximum output power is a sum of the power that is determined based on the uplink transmission in the first cell group and a power that is allocated to the first cell group, of the residual power.

  • Publication number: 20170164296
    Abstract: A power for a physical uplink channel is determined based on whether or not PCMAX that is a maximum transmit power for a terminal device is exceeded, in a case where dual connectivity is not configured for the physical uplink channel, and a power for the physical uplink channel in a first cell group is determined based on whether or not PMCG that is a maximum transmit power for the first cell group is exceeded, a power for the physical uplink channel in a second cell group is determined based on whether or not PSCG that is a maximum transmit power for the second cell group is exceeded, PMCG is calculated by an arithmetic operation that uses at least PCMAX and PSeNB, and PSCG is calculated by an arithmetic operation that uses at least PCMAX and PMeNB, in a case where the dual connectivity is configured for the physical uplink channel.
