Disclosed is an apparatus for reporting transmission power. The apparatus for reporting transmission power includes a transmission power normalization unit, a message generation unit, and a transmission unit. The transmission power normalization unit normalizes a first transmission power at a current Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level into a second transmission power at a reference MCS level, the current MCS level being an MCS level of a burst which is intended to comprise a transmission power report of a terminal. The message generation unit generates a message comprising the transmission power report of the terminal with the second transmission power defined therein. The transmission unit transmits the generated message to a base station.
