Patent ID: 8301352

Claim:
A method performed by a terminal for calculating a transmission power control parameter by calculating a time average of power of amplitude of a transmission signal to calculate a reference value for control of transmission power of the transmission signal after multiplexing in a radio transmission system for multiplexing and transmitting a plurality of channel signals, the method comprising: performing a calculation of the time average of power of the amplitude of the transmission signal as a product-sum operation between a transmission power-dependent term including a modulation parameter depending on the transmission power of the transmission signal and a time average term including only a modulation parameter not depending on the transmission power of the transmission signal, and in a transmitting process of the transmission signal, inputting the modulation parameter depending on the transmission power of the transmission signal to calculate the transmission power-dependent term, reading a value of the time average term including only the modulation parameter not depending on the transmission power of the transmission signal stored in advance, and performing the product-sum operation using a result of the calculation of the transmission power-dependent term and the read value of the time average term, thereby performing the time average of power of the amplitude of the transmission signal; and calculating in advance a value of a time average term including only the modulation parameter not dependent on the transmission power of the transmission signal, and storing the value.
