Patent ID: 8526338

Claim:
A method for determining uplink transmission power in a Time Division Duplex system, comprising: determining, by a User Equipment, a current uplink and downlink sub-frame allocation mode before transmitting data using an uplink sub-frame, obtaining a sub-frame mapping corresponding to the uplink and downlink sub-frame allocation mode, determining a downlink sub-frame used by a base station for transmitting a Transmission Power Control, TPC, command corresponding to the uplink sub-frame according to the sub-frame mapping, obtaining the TPC command received through the determined downlink sub-frame, and determining power for data transmission via the uplink sub-frame according to the TPC command; wherein, the TPC command corresponding to the uplink sub-frame is transmitted by the base station through the downlink sub-frame after the base station determines the current uplink and downlink sub-frame allocation mode, obtains the sub-frame mapping corresponding to the uplink and downlink sub-frame allocation mode, and determines the downlink sub-frame used for transmitting the TPC command corresponding to the uplink sub-frame according to the sub-frame mapping; wherein the sub-frame mapping comprises a mapping relationship between an uplink sub-frame and a downlink sub-frame to be used for transmitting a TPC command corresponding to the uplink sub-frame; and if the mapping relationship between an uplink sub-frame and a downlink sub-frame to be used for transmitting a TPC command corresponding to the uplink sub-frame is a mapping relationship between an identifier of the uplink sub-frame and an identifier of the downlink sub-frame, then determining the downlink sub-frame used for transmitting the TPC command corresponding to the uplink sub-frame according to the sub-frame mapping comprises: obtaining an identifier of the uplink sub-frame, determining a downlink sub-frame identifier corresponding to the identifier of the uplink sub-frame according to the mapping relationship, and determining a downlink sub-frame corresponding to the downlink sub-frame identifier ahead of the uplink sub-frame as the downlink sub-frame used for transmitting the TPC command.
