The present invention relates to a terminal device and method for controlling uplink transmission power for initial data transmission after network entry in a wireless communication system. The terminal device according to the present invention comprises a processor and a transmitter. The processor determines an initial offset value for determining uplink transmission power for an initial data transmission using the power value ultimately used in an initial ranging transmission and the number of initial ranging subcarriers, and determines an uplink transmission power value for an initial data transmission using the determined initial offset value. The transmitter transmits initial data to a base station with the determined uplink transmission power value for an initial data transmission.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving signals by using a preset frame structure in a wireless communication system. As there are difficulties ensuring the link capacity and quality for a high speed moving object with the existing frame structure and the antenna arrangement and communication system based on the existing scheme, a new frame structure needs to be proposed. According to one example of those newly proposed frame structures, one frame is composed of 8 subframes, each of the 8 subframes being composed of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbols in a range of 11 to 14, and the cyclic prefix (CP) length of the frame is ⅛ or less of an effective symbol length (e.g., ⅛, 1/16, 1/31, 1/64).

Disclosed are a device and method for transmitting/receiving control information in a wireless communication system simultaneously supporting a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method. In the base station device transmitting control information according to the present invention, the transmitter may transmit second control information including information on the resource size of the first control information for uplink power control. At this point, the resource size of the first control information is determined by the number of uplink subframes and downlink subframes available in one frame, the number of fast feedback channels (FFBCHs), and a ceil function rounding off to a whole number.
