First Claim
1. A transmission apparatus comprising:
- a setting section that sets a first amplification value by subtracting a reception quality value reported from a receiving side from a target reception value of a pilot signal used for transmission channel estimation, sets an attenuation value which is set to be larger when a number of repetitions of a data signal increases, and sets a second amplification value by subtracting the attenuation value from the first amplification value;
an amplification section that amplifies power of the pilot signal according to the second amplification value; and
a transmission section that transmits the pilot signal with the amplified power.

Abstract
A transmission power control apparatus capable of reducing unnecessary transmission power that is consumed in transmission of pilot symbols. In the apparatus, a power control part establishes, based on a repetition number of a data signal, a transmission power value of a pilot signal. For example, the power control part establishes, based on an improved reception quality when data signals as replicated in accordance with the repetition number of a data signal are combined, a transmission power value of a pilot signal at a level required and sufficient for meeting a target value of the reception quality of the other end of communication. A power amplifying part amplifies the pilot signal in accordance with the established transmission power value.
