Background technology
Along with development of wireless communication devices, second generation mobile communication system (as GSM) is little by little to third generation 3G transition.The 3G of third generation system can provide the bit rate business to transmit and receive high-quality image and video, and can also insert global network with high data rate.In commercial at present 3G network, the WCDMA technology is to use one of the most ripe 3G technology.
WCDMA is a straight spreading code multiple access in broadband (DS-CDMA) system, promptly multiplies each other by user data and the pseudo-random bits that is got by the CDMA spreading code, thereby the user profile bit expanded is gone on wide bandwidth.From this view point, the WCDMA system itself is a self-interference system, and therefore power control fast and accurately is the basic demand that guarantees the WCDMA systematic function, especially in up link, if not power control accurately, the portable terminal of overpower emission will block whole sub-district.For example: two mobile terminal MSs 1 and MS2 are arranged in same sub-district, and MS1 and MS2 are operated in same frequency, and the base station only relies on both to distinguish them by spreading code separately.May occur that: MS1 is in the edge of sub-district, and MS2 is in the place near the base station, the high 80dB of space path loss ratio MS2 of MS1.If do not take certain power control mechanism to make two travelling carriages arrive the power of base station on same level, the MS2 emitted power is easy to the transmitting power greater than MS1, and then the communication of blocking most of zone, sub-district, thereby the problem of generation " near-far interference ".On the maximized meaning of whole WCDMA power system capacity, optimisation strategy be the bit power of all portable terminals that receive in the base station is equated in free.
The power control of WCDMA system comprises: open Loop Power control, closed power control and exterior ring power control.
Open Loop Power control just comes path loss is made a rough estimation with sending the downlink beacon signal, and general requirement is not too high.
Exterior ring power control be according to each independently the needs of Radio Link adjust the set point of current demand signal quality, thereby obtain a constant link-quality, exterior ring power control is general only just to be adopted when portable terminal carries out soft handover.
Closed power control is most crucial part in the control of WCDMA power.The base station will be estimated the signal quality that receives continually, and the signal quality of this signal quality and setting relatively, adjusts the transmitting power of portable terminal.
Therefore, to respond the power control instruction of base station accurately, fast be the basic demand of WCDMA network to mobile terminal device.
In the prior art, the WCDMA portable terminal adopts following power control mode, the WCDMA signal is through after the debugging of base band, in the WCDMA transmitting chip, give WCDMA power amplifier through output behind up-conversion, the pre-amplification, after in the WCDMA power amplifier, amplifying, be transmitted to the base station through giving antenna behind coupler and the duplexer, this is the main emission path of WCDMA.
The another one aspect, a coupler coupling part is from the power output of WCDMA power amplifier, through high power detector (HDET, High-power detector) detect and carry out giving Base Band Unit after mould/number (A/D) conversion, Base Band Unit carries out the power closed-loop control according to current performance number.
The inventor finds that in realizing process of the present invention in present this power control system, the scope that the WCDMA transmitting power of WCDMA power coupler coupling is delivered to baseband chip through single-stage HDET detection network is limited.The power control scheme that the adopts power control of carrying out HDET is at present only carried out the power closed-loop control of HDET at the maximum power output, and other parts all to be the single mode of passing through to table look-up obtain, the precision of power, stability all have certain deviation.
The scheme of the WCDMA power control of adopting at present exists HDET power control range limited, can't realize the control of WCDMA power with the hardware closed-loop of HDET, and the power control precision of WCDMA and stability have certain deviation.
