Transmission/reception apparatus and transmit power control method
First Claim
1. A communication terminal apparatus that receives transmit signals which are spread with a plurality of different spreading code sequence and which are transmitted in parallel from different antennas respectively, said communication terminal apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of receiver circuits, each having a despreading section, that receive the transmit signals and despread the transmit signals with the different spreading code sequences respectively to obtain a plurality of received signals;
data combination circuitry that combines the received signals obtained in the plurality of receiver circuits to obtain combined received data;
measurement circuitry that measures received power of said plurality of received signals in the receiver circuits;
combination circuitry that combines measured received power of the plurality of received signals of said measurement circuitry to obtain combined received power; and
transmit power control circuitry that performs open-loop transmit power control using the combined received power.

Abstract
Spreading sections 104 and 105 of the base station spread the respective distributed data using mutually orthogonal spreading codes and they are transmitted from antennas 106 and 107. Despreading sections 202 and 203 of the mobile station despread the received signals using the same spreading codes as those used at the base station, demodulation sections 204 and 205 demodulate the despread signals, received signal power measuring sections 207 and 208 measure their received signal powers from the demodulation result, received signal power measuring section 209 combines the measured received signal powers and transmit power control section 212 controls transmission power based on the combined received signal power. When carrying out diversity reception through a plurality of antennas at the base station, this suppresses transmit power control errors to a small level at the mobile station.
