The embodiments of the present invention disclose an uplink power control method, a terminal and a base station, which can adjust or determine uplink transmission power of a terminal on subframes which belong to different subframe groups respectively. The method includes: a base station determining subframe group information, the subframe group information being used by a terminal to determine uplink transmission power adjustment amounts on subframes which belong to different subframe groups; and the base station transmitting the subframe group information to the terminal. A terminal determines uplink transmission power adjustment amounts on subframes which belong to different subframe groups, and determines uplink transmission power on corresponding subframes according to the determined uplink transmission power adjustment amounts on the subframes which belong to the different subframe groups.
