There is provided a method and a program and an apparatus (e.g., a user equipment) that determines a data channel gain factor and a control channel gain factor; determines that total transmit power would exceed a maximum allowed value after applying the data and control channel gain factors; reduces the data channel gain factor so that the total transmit power does not exceed the maximum allowed value; and uses the control channel gain factor that is applied before the data channel factor is reduced when a boost mode is configured for the control channel (e.g., if TFCIi>E-TFCIec, boost). There may a plurality k of data channels E-DPDCHk and k data channel gain factors βed, k which are reduced by scaling each of them equally. When the boost mode is not configured the control channel gain factor which is used is received in signaling from an access node.
