A cellular phone includes an inner loop portion and an outer loop portion both for conducting power control. The outer loop portion includes a timer counter. The timer counter transmits a timing signal to a communication quality comparing section when a set length of time elapses. The communication quality comparing section compares a block error rate (BLER) of received data with a target BLER even when a predetermined amount of data has not been received. When the BLER of the received data is equal to or higher than the target BLER, a target signal to interference power ratio (SIR) is decreased. Accordingly, the cellular phone can decrease the target SIR even when the amount of the received data is small, and no request for an unnecessarily high transmission power is made to a base station.

What is claimed is: 1. A radio communication terminal for measuring a signal to interference power ratio (SIR) of a received signal, comparing the measured SIR with a target SIR, and transmitting to a base station transmission power control (TPC) information based on a result of the comparison, comprising: a quality measuring section for measuring the communication quality of received data; a quality comparing section for comparing the measured communication quality with a target communication quality; a retaining section for retaining a target SIR updated based on a result of the comparison; and a counter section for outputting a timing signal to the quality comparing section, wherein the quality comparing section compares the target communication quality with the communication quality measured when a predetermined amount of data is received, and the quality comparing section compares the target communication quality with the communication quality measured when a timing signal is received from the counter section. 2. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein output intervals of the timing signals are changed according to the result of the comparison performed by the quality comparing section. 3. A radio communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein the output intervals of timing signals are reduced when the measured communication quality is equal to or higher than the target community quality. 4. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the counter section is reset after the target SIR is updated. 5. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the counter section comprises a timer that outputs a timing signal at predetermined time intervals. 6. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the counter section is a frame counter that outputs a timing signal every time a predetermined number of received frames are counted. 7. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the target SIR is decreased when the measured communication quality is equal to or higher than the target communication quality. 8. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the communication quality comprises a block error rate (BLER). 9. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the quality comparing section updates the target SIR. 10. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the retaining section updates the target SIR. 11. A radio communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the radio communication terminal is one selected from the group consisting of a cellular phone, a personal handyphone system, a personal data assistant, and a personal digital assistants. 12. A transmission power control method for a radio communication terminal for transmitting to a base station transmission power control (TPC) information based on a result of the comparison between a signal to interference power ratio (SIR) of a received signal and a target SIR, comprising: measuring the communication quality of the received data when a predetermined amount of data is received; measuring the communication quality of the received data when a predetermined timing signal is received; comparing the measured communication quality with a target communication quality; and updating the target SIR based on a result of the comparison. 13. A transmission power control method according to claim 12, wherein the timing signal is outputted from a counter section in the radio communication terminal. 14. A transmission power control method according to claim 13, wherein the counter section is reset after updating of the target SIR. 15. A transmission power control method according to claim 12, wherein output intervals of timing signals are changed according to the result of the comparison between the measured communication quality and the target communication quality. 16. A transmission power control method according to claim 12, wherein the output intervals of timing signals are reduced when the measured communication quality is equal to or higher than the target community quality. 17. A transmission power control method according to claim 12, wherein the target SIR is decreased when the measured communication quality is equal to or higher than the target communication quality.
