Mobile communication terminal and method of controlling transmission power
First Claim
1. A mobile communication terminal comprising:
- a signal-sending/receiving unit capable of sending and receiving multiplexed signals through a plurality of channels,a transmission-power adjuster to adjust transmission power of the individual channels,a transmission-power controller to control a power-distribution ratio for adjustment of transmission power of the individual channels by said transmission-power adjuster,an information holder holding the maximum transmission power of the mobile communication terminal, anda priority-setting unit to set order of priority of the individual channels by using prescribed materials for determining the order of priority;
wherein said transmission-power controller compares the transmission power demanded by a communication terminal at the other end through said signal-sending/receiving unit and the maximum transmission power held by said information holder and controls the transmission power of individual channels according to the transmission power demanded by the communication device at the other end, andwherein, if the total transmission power of the individual channels is going to exceed the maximum transmission power, said transmission-power controller determines the power-distribution ratio among the channels so that transmission power of a channel given priority by said priority-setting unit is adjusted to a power level demanded by the communication device at the other end on the one hand and transmission power of a channel or channels not given priority by said priority-setting unit is adjusted so as to confine total transmission power to the maximum transmission power on the other hand.

Abstract
The mobile communication terminal of the present invention comprises an amplitude regulator 3 regulating the amplitudes of signals of the DPDCH, DPCCH, and HS-DPCCH, a transmission-power controller 17 controlling the power-distribution ratio for the adjustment of transmission power of the individual transmission channels, and a priority-channel selector 18 choosing a priority channel from among the individual transmission channels. If the total transmission power of the individual transmission channels is going to exceed the maximum transmission power, the transmission-power controller 17 determines the power-distribution ratio among the individual transmission channels by adjusting the transmission power of the priority transmission channel to a power level demanded by a base station on the one hand and adjusting the transmission power of the non-priority channel so as to confine the total transmission power to the maximum transmission power on the other hand. Accordingly, the base station can receive information correctly even if the transmission power demanded by the base station is beyond the maximum transmission power of the mobile communication terminal.

12. A method of controlling transmission power comprising the steps of:
-
sending and receiving multiplexed signals by a signal-sending/receiving unit through a plurality of channels, adjusting the transmission power of the individual channels by a transmission-power adjuster, controlling a power-distribution ratio by a transmission-power controller for the adjustment, by said transmission-power adjuster, of the transmission power of the individual channels, and setting the order of priority of the channels by using prescribed materials for determining the order of priority; wherein said step of controlling the power-distribution ratio by said transmission-power controller includes the steps of comparing the transmission power demanded through said signal-sending/receiving unit by the communication device at the other end and information about the maximum transmission power of the mobile communication terminal held by the information holder, and determining the power-distribution ratio among the individual channels in such a way that the transmission power of the individual channels is controlled according to the transmission power demanded by the communication device at the other end and, if the total transmission power of the channels is going to exceed the maximum transmission power, the transmission power of the channel given priority by said priority-setting unit is adjusted to a power level demanded by the communication device at the other end on the one hand and the transmission power of a channel or channels not given priority by said priority-setting unit is adjusted so as to confine the total transmission power to the maximum transmission power on the other hand.
