In a method for power control, a user equipment (UE) receives a path loss measurement indicator and at least one parameter sent by a base station and measures a path loss between the UE and at least one uplink serving access point of the UE according to the path loss measurement indicator. An uplink transmitting power adjustment value is calculated according to the measured path loss and the at least one parameter received from the base station. The UE adjusts uplink transmitting power according to the uplink transmitting power adjustment value.
