Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling uplink transmit power in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The method includes determining an uplink transmit power for each of the plurality of transmission channels, and sequentially allocating the determined uplink transmit powers to the transmission channels in a descending order of predetermined priority levels of the transmission channels, within a maximum available transmit power of the user equipment. The priority levels of the transmission channels are predetermined so that control channels, a sounding channel, a data channel, and a bandwidth request channel have priority levels in a descending order.
