A communication device (202) comprises one or more sensors (208) configured to generate sensor data, a wireless interface (206, 306), and a processor (210, 310). The wireless interface is configured to establish a connection with a remote device (402) according to a short-range wireless communication protocol and to transmit one or more signals to the remote device, the one or more signals representing information configured according to a media format. The processor is configured to determine at least one activity mode based on the sensor data from the one or more sensors on at least one of the communication device or the remote device, and during the transmission of the one or more signals, control the wireless interface to increase a transmit power level to a maximum transmit power level based on the determined activity mode.

An indication information sending method includes that a base station generates first indication information and sends the first indication information to a terminal device. The first indication information indicates a power control manner of a first channel, the power control manner being one power control manner in a power control manner set providing transmit power of a signal on the first channel is determined by a terminal device based on a first parameter or according to a rule predefined on the terminal device.

The present technology relates to a communication apparatus and a communication method that can improve a communication characteristic. The communication apparatus is a base station and includes a control section configured to determine, on the basis of first communication situation information regarding a communication situation of the base station and second communication situation information regarding a communication situation received from another base station, whether or not it is permissible to carry out control of a communication parameter in the base station, and determine, on the basis of the first communication situation information and the second communication situation information, whether or not it is permissible to transmit first control request information regarding a control request of a communication parameter in the other base station. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a wireless LAN system.

Provided are a method for reporting and controlling power, and a terminal, a base station and a communication system, which relate to the field of wireless communications. The method for reporting power comprises: a terminal determining whether transmitter switching is supported; the terminal determining whether the power class when one set of transmitters is utilized is the same as the power class when multiple sets of transmitters are utilized; and where the terminal supports transmitter switching and the power class when one set of transmitters is utilized is different from the power class when multiple sets of transmitters are utilized, the terminal reporting, to a base station, capability information of the terminal supporting multiple power classes, such that the base station controls the transmitting power of the terminal according to the capability information of the terminal supporting multiple power classes, thereby improving an uplink coverage range.

Provided is a terminal which can suitably transmit an uplink signal. In a terminal (100), a PC parameter control unit (104) sets a first power control parameter corresponding to a first service, when a prescribed condition relating to a control channel used for transmission of uplink signal allocation is met, and sets a second power control parameter corresponding to a second service, when the prescribed condition is not met. A transmission unit (109) transmits the uplink signal by using transmission power calculated by using the first power control parameter or the second power control parameter.

A wireless communication method to alter RF regulatory channel hopping requirements (regulations) between a pair of transceivers is envisioned wherein an embedded transceiver embedded in an RF attenuating medium transmits signals at a lower hopping requirement than a paired open-air transceiver. The communication method adheres to these regulations, which define a threshold power for transmission above which require a high degree of frequency hopping. Because the attenuating medium attenuates the open-air RF signal from the embedded transceiver, channel hopping in the embedded transceiver is lowered however, the channel hopping in the open-air transceiver is not lowered. The two transceivers are essentially powered equally.
