METHOD AND CORRESPONDING APPARATUS FOR UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL POWER CONTROL

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for power control of a uplink control channel in a coordinated multi-point transmission system. The method comprises: performing the uplink control channel power control based on measured pathloss from a single reception point to the user equipment in a scenario of single-point reception of the uplink control channel; performing the uplink control channel power control by reducing uplink control channel transmission power of the user equipment to thereby reduce inter-cell interference incurred by multi-reception-point reception combining gain in a scenario of multi-point reception of the uplink control channel. Embodiments of the present invention further provide an apparatus for power control of a uplink control channel in a coordinated multi-point transmission system and a corresponding base station.
