Patent ID: 8768397

Claim:
A wireless communication device configured for performing uplink transmission power control on a wireless communication device, comprising: supporting one or more transmission antenna ports, supporting a plurality of uplink component carriers which are configured by a base station, and determining a transmission power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for each component carrier, wherein the transmission power for the PUSCH for each component carrier is scaled from a projected transmission power for the PUSCH in a case that a sum of projected values exceeds a maximum transmission power of the wireless communication device, wherein the sum of projected values is a sum of projected PUSCH transmission powers for component carriers and projected physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission power, and wherein the maximum transmission power of the wireless communication device is predefined based on a user equipment (UE) power class of the wireless communication device, wherein the UE power class is applied to all of the component carriers.
