Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for uplink transmission power control (TPC) of multi-link connections. The method for uplink TPC of multi-link connections according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a user equipment (UE) receiving a cell path loss compensating factor and a reference power level of each carrier of each connection in the multi-link connections, receiving an uplink transmission power adjustment amount of each carrier of each connection in the multi-link connections, and measuring a path loss of each carrier of each connection in the multi-link connections. According to the received cell path loss compensating factor, reference power level, and uplink transmission power adjustment amount, and the measured path loss, the UE calculates uplink transmission power of each carrier of each connection in the multi-link connections, and transmits data based on the uplink transmission power.
