A method, a terminal, and a base station are provided. The method includes: obtaining parameter information of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), where the parameter information includes one or more of quantity information of a resource block (RB), quantity information of a Reed-Muller (RM) code, quantity information of an orthogonal cover code (OCC), coding format information, modulation format information, and value information of a scale factor (SF) of the PUCCH, or the parameter information includes at least one configuration parameter corresponding to one or more of quantity information of an RB, quantity information of an RM code, quantity information of an OCC, coding format information, modulation format information, and value information of an SF; calculating transmit power of the PUCCH according to the parameter information; and transmitting the PUCCH according to the calculated transmit power.
