Title: Communication terminal device, base station device, and transmission power control method
Inventor: NISHIO AKIHIKO
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 2003-08-15
Abstract: In a radio communication system containing A-DPCH (Associated - Dedicated Physical Channel) to which soft handover is applied and HS-DPCCH (High Speed -Dedicated Physical Control Channel) to which hard handover is applied, it is possible to perform an appropriate transmission power control for the HS-DPCCH  and maintain reception SIR of the HS-DPCCH at a predetermined SIR.

When the A-DPCH is not in the soft handover state, a transmission radio section (42) sets the HS-DPCCH transmission power to power equal to the A-DPCH  transmission power. When the A-DPCH is in the soft handover state, the transmission radio section (42) sets the HS-DPCCH transmission power to the A-DPCH transmission power added by an offset.
