[0047] The first transmission power of the terminal device is the maximum transmission power of the terminal device on at least one cell of the MCG in the first time domain window; and the second transmission power of the terminal device is the maximum transmission power of the terminal device on at least one cell of the SCG in the first time domain window. Optionally, the first transmission power and the second transmission power are less than or equal to the maximum transmission power supported by the terminal device. Optionally, the first transmission power and the second transmission power can be configured based on system information or RRC signaling.

[0048] In the embodiment of the application, the uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window can comprise: having uplink transmission in the first time domain window, or being configured with uplink time domain resources in the first time domain window.

[0049] In some embodiments, if at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG have uplink transmission configuration at any time domain position of the first time domain window, the first transmission power is allocated to the MCG and the second transmission power is allocated to the SCG. For example, if at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG have uplink transmission at any time domain position of the first time domain window, the first transmission power is allocated to the MCG and the second transmission power is allocated to the SCG. More specifically, if at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG have uplink transmission at any time domain position of the first time domain window, the first transmission power is allocated to the at least one cell of the MCG and the second transmission power is allocated to the at least one cell of the SCG.

In the embodiments of the present application, M1, M2, and M3 can be determined according to the length of the first time domain window and / or a preset protocol. For example, if the length of the first time domain window is less than the length of a time slot, the time slot position can be specified. For another example, if the length of the first time domain window includes multiple time slots, the time slot position can be specified, and of course the symbol position can be further specified based on the specified time slot position. For another example, if the length of the first time domain window includes multiple subframes, the subframe position can be specified, and of course the time slot and / or symbol position can be further specified based on the specified subframe position. In one example, the specified time domain position can be the first symbol of the first time domain window, or the first time slot of the first time domain window, or the first subframe of the first time domain window, or it can also be one or more time slots of the first subframe of the first time domain window. For another example, the specified time domain position can be the second subframe of the first time domain window, and for another example, the specified time domain position can be a symbol of a time slot of the third subframe of the first time domain window. Here, they are not listed one by one.

[0051] 204, if all cells of the MCG do not have uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window, and at least one cell of the SCG has uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window, the maximum transmission power supported by the terminal device is allocated to the SCG in the first time domain window.

[0053] 205, if all cells of the SCG do not have uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window, and at least one cell of the MCG has uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window, the maximum transmission power supported by the terminal device is allocated to the MCG in the first time domain window. Optionally, the maximum transmission power supported by the terminal device is the maximum transmission power configured in a DC scenario. Optionally, the specific definition can refer to TS 38.101-3 8-3.

[0054] Optionally, all cells of the SCG do not have uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window, and at least one cell of the MCG has uplink transmission configuration in the first time domain window, including: all cells of the SCG do not have uplink transmission configuration at any time domain position of the first time domain window, and at least one cell of the MCG has uplink transmission configuration at any time domain position of the first time domain window. Alternatively, all cells of the SCG do not have uplink transmission configuration at a specified time domain position of the first time domain window, and at least one cell of the MCG has uplink transmission configuration at the specified time domain position of the first time domain window. Wherein, the specific content of the specified time domain position and the uplink transmission configuration can be referred to the related description of step 203. Optionally, the maximum transmission power supported by the terminal device can be determined based on a preset protocol.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device allocates transmission power to the MCG and the SCG according to whether the MCG and the SCG have uplink transmission or are configured with uplink time domain resources in an overlapping time domain position (such as a first time domain window). Optionally, the first time domain window can be a time domain window in which the network device performs joint channel detection. The time domain window for performing joint channel detection can include a plurality of consecutive time slots. Optionally, the first time domain window belongs to at least one cell of the MCG and / or the SCG. Through the embodiment of the present application, the transmission power of the MCG and the SCG in the joint channel detection time domain window remains unchanged, thereby ensuring that the function of the joint channel detection time domain window is not affected by the allocation of transmission power. The power allocation method of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific examples.

[0056] In one example, the terminal device detects that one cell of the MCG or the SCG has a time domain window for performing joint channel detection. As shown in Figure 3-a , the terminal device detects that one cell of the MCG has a time domain window A and one cell of the SCG has a time domain window B, and then the terminal device allocates transmission power to the MCG and the SCG in the time domain window A and the time domain window B according to the uplink transmission configuration of the MCG and the SCG in the time domain window A and the time domain window B. The time domain window A and the time domain window B each include 4 consecutive symbols. In some other examples, the time domain window for performing joint channel detection can also have other lengths, which are only examples here.

[0057] The terminal device obtains RRC signaling and / or downlink control signaling sent by the network device. The terminal device can obtain the time domain resource configuration of the MCG and the SCG in the time domain window A and the time domain window B according to the RRC signaling and / or the downlink control signaling. For example, the terminal device can obtain the frame structure of the MCG and the SCG according to the RRC signaling and / or the downlink control signaling. As shown in Figure 3-a , the terminal device can determine, according to the frame structure of the MCG, that the symbol configuration of one cell of the MCG in the time domain window A is downlink symbol D, uplink symbol U, downlink symbol D, and downlink symbol D, and the symbol configuration in the time domain window B is downlink symbol D, downlink symbol D, downlink symbol D, and downlink symbol D. The terminal device can determine, according to the frame structure of the SCG, that the symbol configuration of one cell of the SCG in the time domain window A is flexible symbol S, uplink symbol U, uplink symbol U, and uplink symbol U, and the symbol configuration in the time domain window B is uplink symbol U, uplink symbol U, uplink symbol U, and uplink symbol U.

[0058] In one example, the principle of allocating transmission power to the MCG and the SCG includes: at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG are configured with uplink time domain resources at any time domain position in the first time domain window, and then the first transmission power P MCG , the second transmission power PSCG Based on this, in Figure 3-a , one cell of the MCG and one cell of the SCG are both configured with uplink symbols in the time domain window A, the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG in the time domain window A, and the second transmission power P SCG is allocated to the SCG. In the time domain window B, one cell of the SCG is configured with uplink symbols in the time domain window B, and if all cells of the MCG are configured with downlink symbols in the time domain window B, the maximum transmission power P cmax supported by the terminal device is allocated to the SCG in the time domain window B.

[0059] In one example, the principle of allocating transmission power to the MCG and the SCG includes: at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG are both configured with uplink time domain resources in the first symbol of the first time domain window, and the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG, and the second transmission power P SCG is allocated to the SCG. In Figure 3-a , one cell of the SCG is configured with a flexible symbol in the first symbol of the time domain window A, and if all cells of the MCG are configured with downlink symbols in the first symbol position of the time domain window A, the maximum transmission power P cmax supported by the terminal device is allocated to the SCG in the time domain window A. Similarly, one cell of the SCG is configured with an uplink symbol in the first symbol of the time domain window B, and if all cells of the MCG are configured with downlink symbols in the first symbol position of the time domain window B, the maximum transmission power P cmax supported by the terminal device is allocated to the SCG in the time domain window B.

[0060] In some embodiments, the terminal device can determine the time domain position of the MCG and the SCG for uplink transmission according to the downlink control information DCI or the RRC signaling. As Figure 3-b shown, the terminal device can determine that one cell of the MCG has uplink transmission in the first symbol of the time domain window A and has uplink transmission in the second symbol of the time domain window B according to the DCI. One cell of the SCG has uplink transmission in the first symbol of the time domain window A and has uplink transmission in the first symbol of the time domain window B.

[0061] In one example, the principle of allocating transmission power to the MCG and the SCG includes: at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG have uplink transmission at any time domain position in the first time domain window, and the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG, and the second transmission power P SCG is allocated to the SCG, i.e., the maximum transmission power of the terminal device on at least one cell of the MCG in the first time domain window is P MCGThe maximum transmission power of at least one cell of the SCG in the first time domain window is P SCG Based on this, in Figure 3-b , one cell of the MCG and one cell of the SCG both have uplink transmission in the time domain window A, the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG in the time domain window A, and the second transmission power P SCG is allocated to the SCG. In the time domain window B, one cell of the MCG and one cell of the SCG both have uplink transmission in the time domain window B, the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG in the time domain window B, and the second transmission power P SCG .

[0062] In one example, the principle of allocating transmission power to the MCG and the SCG includes: at least one cell of the MCG and at least one cell of the SCG have uplink transmission in the first symbol of the first time domain window, the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG, and the second transmission power P SCG is allocated to the SCG, that is, the maximum transmission power of at least one cell of the MCG in the first time domain window is P MCG , and the maximum transmission power of at least one cell of the SCG in the first time domain window is P SCG In Figure 3-b , one cell of the MCG and one cell of the SCG both have uplink transmission in the first symbol of the time domain window A, the first transmission power P MCG is allocated to the MCG in the time domain window A, and the second transmission power P SCG is allocated to the SCG. In the time domain window B, one cell of the SCG has uplink transmission in the first symbol of the time domain window B, if all cells of the MCG do not have uplink transmission in the first symbol of the time domain window B, the maximum transmission power P cmax .
