This disclosure proposes a mobile communication system to use multiple power control loops in the uplink. Each power control loop may be associated with a respective antenna beam transmitted from an antenna array of the electronic device (e.g. UE) in the uplink of the communication system. Each power control loop may also be associated with a respective set of one or more MIMO layers. This concept is applicable to open-loop, closed-loop power control or both.

The method comprises: determining an effective transmit power control (TPC) command window according to a preset physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a plurality of PDCCHs that are repeatedly transmitted, the preset PDCCH comprising the first PDCCH or the last PDCCH in the plurality of PDCCHs; determining a closed-loop power adjustment state according to a TPC command in the effective TPC command window; and according to the closed-loop power adjustment state, determining the transmit power of an uplink signal of a terminal device.

Provided is a terminal with which it is possible, in a heterogeneous cell network, to transmit a Periodic-Sounding Reference Signal (P-SRS) at a transmission bandwidth and power density necessary for carrying out both a process of selection of a transceiving participating base station and a process of frequency scheduling of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). A terminal (300) comprises a receiving unit (301) which receives control information which includes information which denotes a P-SRS transmission parameter, and a transmission unit (303) which, using a transmission parameter which is included in the received control information, transmits a first P-SRS provided with a first bandwidth and a first power density at a first period, and transmits a second P-SRS provided with a second bandwidth which is narrower than the first bandwidth and second power density which is higher than the first power density at a second period.
