Concrete, first by scope acquisition module 30, obtain the maximum variation delta of certain hour internal power amplifier
aPC_ADJ.Described power amplifier is baseband signal and becomes after analog signal by D/A converter, and this analog signal becomes the treatment facility of the required process of target simulation signal (meeting the analog signal of target power).
For the shorter CP type of length (Normal CP); described certain hour is preferably 3 μ s ~ 5.2 μ s; at this, consider the shortest 160Ts of only having in protection interval (being similar in other words protection interval) having between subframe before and after LTE system; i.e. 5.2 μ s; in order to realize climbing/reducing of power amplifier in this protects interval; avoid the impact for data to be sent, with in being slightly less than protection interval, it is excellent using this power amplifier.In the present embodiment, take this kind of situation as example.

aPC_ADJfor 10dB gain amplifier, that is to say the amount of the climbing/reducing amount that realizes 10dB on power amplifier described in 5 μ s can the basis at last gain amplifier.
Then, described the first gain acquisition module 31 obtains the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APC, this first gain amplifier is present frame when baseband signal power is maximum, the gain amplifier of needed power amplifier.Wherein, described present frame refers to one frame/subframe that current needs send, and constantly needs recently in other words the one frame/sub-frame data sending.Concrete, be when basic data power is during in maximum, reach target power, the gain amplifier of the required execution of described power amplifier.Preferably, according to following situation, calculate described the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APC: according to the RB number under PUSCH maximum bandwidth, and current path loss, the PUSCH expectation received power of cell configuration, when calculating under full scheduling baseband signal full scale, the maximum gain amplifier that power amplifier is used possibly.
Meanwhile, described the second gain acquisition module 32 obtains the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APC, this second gain amplifier is next frame when baseband signal power is maximum, the gain amplifier of needed power amplifier.Wherein, described next frame refers to and then present frame one frame/sub-frame data afterwards.Preferably, described the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCcan be calculated according to following situation: according to the RB number under PUSCH maximum bandwidth, and current path loss, the PUSCH expectation received power of cell configuration, when calculating under full scheduling baseband signal full scale, the maximum gain amplifier that power amplifier is used possibly.
Then, utilize comparison module 33 to obtain the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCwith the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCdifference.Concrete, can realize by following formula one:
Δ
aPC=| P
mAX_APC-P
nEXT_APC| (formula one)
At this, resulting difference DELTA
aPCbe in the situation that the power of present frame or next frame baseband signal is not adjusted the variable quantity that power amplifier need to carry out, the i.e. amount of the climbing/reducing amount of power amplifier gain amplifier.
Suppose the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCfor 50dB, the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCfor 35dB, resulting difference DELTA
aPCbe 15dB, and be that institute's power amplifier need to reduce 15dB; Suppose the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCfor 50dB, the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCfor 65dB, resulting difference DELTA
aPCalso be 15dB, but be institute's power amplifier 15dB that need to climb.
Obtaining the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCwith the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCdifference after, described processing module 34 can be processed.Concrete, if this difference DELTA
aPCbe greater than maximum variation delta
aPC_ADJ, adjust the power of present frame or next frame baseband signal, make difference DELTA
aPCbe less than or equal to maximum variation delta
aPC_ADJ.
At this, if difference DELTA once is first described
aPCwithout processing in the situation that, be less than or equal to maximum variation delta
aPC_ADJdisposition, now, also can bring handling process into next step by described processing module 34, for example, enter and utilize power amplifier to carry out the step of power amplification; Without the operation of processing module 34 and directly enter subsequent step, the application does not limit this yet.
At this, in difference DELTA
aPCbe greater than maximum variation delta
aPC_ADJsituation under, the different situations that need to climb or reduce according to power amplifier, described processing module 34 is carried out different disposal.
The first situation:
Work as difference DELTA
aPCbe greater than maximum variation delta
aPC_ADJ, and the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCbe greater than the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCtime (power amplifier need reduce), described processing module 34 reduces the power of next frame baseband signal.
The second situation:
Work as difference DELTA
aPCbe greater than maximum variation delta
aPC_ADJ, and the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCbe less than the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCtime (power amplifier need to climb), described processing module 34 reduces the power of present frame baseband signal.
First, for the second situation, further illustrate the processing method of described processing module 34.If adopt aforesaid two hypothesis: the maximum variation delta of supposing power amplifier
aPC_ADJfor 10dB gain amplifier; And hypothesis the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCfor 50dB, the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCfor 65dB, resulting difference DELTA
aPCfor 15dB, institute's power amplifier 15dB that need to climb.
Due to the application for situation be, baseband signal power is maximum, the gain amplifier of the power amplifier using is minimum, for this kind of situation, mainly just needs baseband signal power by reducing present frame, increases the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCbe achieved.Preferably, to the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCheighten 5dB, make needed the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCfor 55dB.To this, can be achieved by several different methods, for example by displacement, multiplication or division, adjust present frame baseband signal, to reduce the power of present frame baseband signal.
For explanation clearly, by displacement, multiplication or division, adjust baseband signal, just can change the power of (raising/reduction) this baseband signal, subsequently first this is explained.
The method for expressing of baseband signal represents with component+Q road, I road component, shown in following formula two:
S
l(t)=Re{s
l(t) } * cos (2 π f
0t)-Im{s
l(t) } * sin (2 π f
0t) (formula two)
Wherein, Re{s
l(t) what } represent is exactly the amplitude on Q road, Im{s
l(t) what } represent is exactly the amplitude on I road.
Corresponding amplitude on along separate routes represents with binary digit, and the size of signal strength signal intensity is to represent by amplitude square, it is generally acknowledged being calculated as follows shown in formula three of signal strength signal intensity:
RSSI=I
2+ Q
2(formula three)
So if amplitude changes, must cause the variation of signal strength signal intensity, for some baseband signals, if change in proportion the amplitude on Q road, I road, also just there is variation in so corresponding baseband signal, if Q road, I road amplitude is strengthened to (unsaturated words), so corresponding baseband signal grow, otherwise if Q road, I road amplitude is reduced to (not distortion), so corresponding baseband signal dies down; For the data of binary representation, 2 times of shifting function one bit representation signal intensities, change into dB and are just equivalent to changes in amplitude 3dB(10log
102=3), corresponding power variation is 6dB(10log
102
2=6).
Therefore, for the second situation, described processing module 34 can be achieved by the baseband signal that moves to right, and wherein, the figure place moving to right calculates according to following formula four:
It is right to be specially
round up, according to aforesaid supposed situation, 1 of the figure place that can obtain displacement at this, is reduced the power of present frame baseband signal by the realization that moves to right at this.
In order to meet target power, after the power reduction of present frame baseband signal, need to carry out power amplification by power amplifier.In the present embodiment, one amplification module 35 is also provided, for the second situation, power and the target power of the present frame baseband signal after described amplification module 35 reduces by power amplifier basis, power to the present frame baseband signal after reducing amplifies, that is to say that the move to right baseband signal of a bit manipulation of 35 pairs of above-mentioned processes of described amplification module carries out power amplification, to reach target power.Now, for the power of baseband signal be: P '
mAX_APC=P
mAX_APC+ S
bits* 6.
Common, described baseband signal needs first by D/A converter, to become analog signal, and then described power amplifier is carried out power amplification operation for the data that become analog signal again, obtains target simulation signal.At this, mainly illustrate described power amplifier for processing object from the present frame baseband signal after reducing, pilot process is the application do not limit.
When described processing module 34 changes the power of baseband signal by shifting function, its implementation is simple, but simultaneously, it does not have the maximized maximum variation delta of utilizing certain hour internal power amplifier
aPC_ADJ.In other embodiments of the invention, the power that also can realize baseband signal by multiplication/division changes, and this implementation method is comparatively complicated, but it can maximizedly utilize the maximum variation delta of certain hour internal power amplifier
aPC_ADJ.When specific implementation, can, according to different requirements, make different selections.
Take multiplication as example, in order to make signal strength signal intensity/power variation change Δ again
aPC-Δ
aPC_ADJ, suppose that changes in amplitude is original x times, requires 10log so
10x
2=Δ
aPC-Δ
aPC_ADJ,
That is:
corresponding multiplication is exactly that all I road Q railway digital baseband signal amplitudes will be multiplied by x.
For the first situation, for by the first gain amplifier P
mAX_APCwith the second gain amplifier P
nEXT_APCdifference DELTA
aPCbe limited to the maximum variation delta of power amplifier
aPC_ADJin, due to the application for situation be, baseband signal power is maximum, the gain amplifier of the power amplifier using is minimum, for this kind of situation, described processing module 34 mainly just needs baseband signal power, increase the second gain amplifier P by reducing next frame
nEXT_APCbe achieved.At this, will present frame baseband signal power not done to change.
For this first situation, in order to meet target power, still utilize 35 pairs of present frame baseband signal power of amplification module to amplify, now, power amplifier, according to the power of present frame baseband signal and target power, amplifies the power of present frame baseband signal.Namely, the baseband signal that now power amplifier amplifies is raw baseband signal.
In this first situation, for the processing of next frame baseband signal, in the time of can working as this next frame baseband signal and become present frame baseband signal, then do similar processing according to the application's disclosed method, to this, the application repeats no more.
To sum up, in the present embodiment, within the difference of the first gain amplifier and the second gain amplifier is limited to the maximum variable quantity of power amplifier, the power difference before and after defining between subframe, make thus the amplitude of variation of power amplifier less, in the interval of front and back subframe, (be generally CP) and just complete climbing or reducing of power, thereby the transmission quality of sub-frame of uplink before and after not affecting improves the reliability that LTE system uplink sends.
Foregoing description is only the description to preferred embodiment of the present invention, the not any restriction to the scope of the invention, and any change, modification that the those of ordinary skill in field of the present invention is done according to above-mentioned disclosure, all belong to the protection range of claims.
