Abstract

Abstract Pilot symbol 1021 of the first slot and TPC symbol 1022 thereof are transmitted by the same transmission power as that one the commencement of transmission, and the transmission power of data symbol 1023 is made zero. In slots including and after the second slot, pilot symbol 1031 and TPC symbol 1032 are transmitted at the same position as that on the commencement of transmission and by smaller transmission power than that on the commencement of transmission, and further dummy signal 1033 is transmitted, as in the above, by the same transmission power after TPC. <IMAGE>
