  • Publication number: 20150282092
    Abstract: There has been a problem that when transmit power control is performed so as to compensate for a certain pathloss regardless of a type of a transmit signal, reception is not performed at a receiving end with an appropriate receive power in a case where a destination differs depending on a type of a transmit power. A terminal device includes a transmit power control unit that determines a transmit power. The transmit power control unit includes at least two types of transmit power equations which are used in determining the transmit power, determines the transmit power based on one of the equations when a scheduling request is transmitted to one of the multiple base stations, and determines the transmit power based on the other equation that is different from the one equation when information is transmitted to an another one of the base stations. The terminal device includes a transmission unit that transmits data based on the determined transmit power.

  • Publication number: 20150264585
    Abstract: A terminal uses different access methods between when the terminal transmits a signal to a pico base station and when the terminal uses a macro base station as a receiving station without increasing the amount of control information to be transmitted from the base station to the terminal. A terminal apparatus of the present invention communicates with a macro base station that forms a first cell or a pico base station that forms a second cell smaller than the first cell. Upon reception of an instruction to communicate with the pico base station from the macro base station (S5), the terminal apparatus communicates with the pico base station using a second access method different from the access method used in the communication with the macro base station (S10).
