Provided is a power control technique for a user equipment that supports high transmission power. An aspect of the invention relates to user equipment that supports a first power class in a certain frequency band, the user equipment including a transceiver that transmits radio signals to and receives radio signals from a base station; and a transmission power controller that controls transmission power to the base station, wherein, upon accessing the base station in the frequency band provided with, as a default power class, a second power class that is lower than the first power class, the transmission power controller controls the transmission power in accordance with a regulation of the default power class, and the transmission power controller controls the transmission power so that the transmission power becomes less than or equal to maximum output power of the default power class.
