Abstract: An uplink power control method comprises: receiving configuration information of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a base station, wherein the configuration information of the CSI-RS comprises reference signal port information and reference signal power information; and measuring a path loss for uplink power control based on the configuration information of the CSI-RS.

Therefore, path loss measurement may be performed with respect to a target base station of uplink transmission, enabling the path loss compensation to match the actual path loss, thus improving the performance of uplink power control.
