Transmission apparatus and transmission method

摘要

A transmission apparatus capable of executing an appropriate transmission power control in DPCH even when the DSCH and DPCH are multiplexed together. In the present transmission apparatus, DPCH transmission power control section 105 controls the transmission power of dedicated channel so that transmission power in periods corresponding to packet insertion periods of downlink shared channel becomes larger than that in other periods. Amplification sections 104-1 to 104-N amplify the transmission power of dedicated channel based on the control of DPCH transmission power control section 105. Dedicated channel and downlink shared channel are multiplexed in multiplexing section 106. The multiplexed signal is converted into radio frequency in RF section 107, and then transmitted as radio signal from antenna 108.
