Definitions
- the present invention relates to the prevention of heat buildup in radio transmitters.
- Wireless data and voice connectivity is increasingly in demand.
- Wireless data connectivity is typically achieved using a wireless modem/radio combination. This combination is often referred to generically as a wireless modem.
- Wireless modems exist for various radio transmission standards.
- One such standard is the CDPD, or Cellular Digital Packet Data, standard.
- the CDPD service is implemented as an overlay on top of the AMPS, or Advanced Mobile Phone System, standard for cellular telephone communications.
- AMPS a cellular telephone is instructed to transmit at one of several different power levels depending on the distance of the cellular telephone from a supervising radio base station.
- the radio of a CDPD wireless modem is instructed to transmit at one of several different power levels. Nominal power levels within the AMPS/CDPD system are shown in Table I. -2-
- PC Card formerly referred to as the PCMCIA card.
- a PC Card is inserted into a PC Card slot in a computer, such as a laptop or notebook computer. It is common for a PC Card wireless modem to have a portion that extends outside the PC Card slot. It is desirable, however, for a PC Card wireless modem to fit entirely within a PC Card slot. When such a PC Card is inserted into the PC Card slot, the surface area of the PC Card, with the exception of a small end surface, is entirely enclosed by the PC Card slot, greatly restricting air circulation.
- the PCMCIA standard gave little or no consideration to heat dissipation.
- the current PC Card standard does not address issues of heat dissipation. Consequently, for a PC Card wireless modem of the type described, if prolonged transmission at high power levels is performed, heat buildup may occur. Such heat buildup is disadvantageous in several respects. Heat buildup may reduce the expected useful life of the wireless modem. Furthermore, heat may build up to such an extent that, when the user withdraws the wireless modem from the PC Card slot, the wireless modem is hot to the touch. In extreme cases, the modem may be sufficiently hot as to cause discomfort or even mild burns. In any event, such heat buildup will likely be the cause of consternation on the part of the user.
- the present invention provides a mechanism for substantially reducing heat buildup within a mobile radio device having a radio transmitter.
- the invention is particularly applicable to PC Card wireless modems.
- device temperature in a mobile radio device is controlled by monitoring the temperature of the mobile radio device; if the temperature of the mobile radio device exceeds a threshold then, when the mobile radio device is to transmit information, transmission power of the mobile radio device is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of heat generated within the mobile radio device and allowing the temperature of the mobile radio device to decrease. Transmission power is reduced sufficiently to allow the temperature of the mobile radio to decrease but not so much as to affect the reliability of transmission in the typical case.
- the technique takes advantage of extra margin built into commonly-employed radio data transmissions standards such as the CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) standard.
- CDPD Cellular Digital Packet Data
- a mobile radio device in accordance with another aspect of the invention, includes a power amplifier, a temperature-variable component, and a microprocessor/microcontroller coupled to the power amplifier and the temperature-variable component.
- a memory coupled to the microprocessor/microcontroller contains instructions for monitoring device temperature and reducing transmission power when a temperature threshold is exceeded, in the same manner as described previously.
- the mobile radio device may advantageously be formed as a PC Card.
- heat and power is reduced by inserting brief pauses at intervals during transmission by the mobile radio device effectively reducing the transmission duty cycle, the transmit amplifier being turned off during such pauses.
- the pauses are made sufficiently short in duration that the radio connection is not lost.
- the data transmission mode (i.e. receive mode or transmit mode) of the host processor coupled to the mobile radio device is monitored.
- the data transmission mode is momtored by a microprocessor within a modem coupled between the mobile radio device and the host processor.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of a computer system including a mobile radio device
- Figure 2 is a timing diagram showing both temperature and the power level of radio transmissions as functions of time
- Figure 3 is a timing diagram illustrating the reduction of transmission power by lowering the transmit power level
- Figure 4 is a timing diagram illustrating the reduction of transmission power by inserting brief pauses at intervals during the transmission, the transmit amplifier being turned off during such pauses.
- a mobile radio device 101 is coupled to a modem 103.
- the modem 103 is coupled in turn to a host computer 105.
- both the mobile radio device 101 and the modem 103 may be realized in the form of PC Cards as described in greater detail in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/724,459 (Attorney's Docket No. 024938-
- the modem 103 interfaces to the host computer 105 through a standard PCMCIA or PC Card interface 102. Operations of the modem 103 are controlled by a microprocessor or microcontroller 107 within the modem 103.
- the modem 103 interfaces to the radio 101 through a general-purpose interface 104.
- the radio 101 Operations of the radio 101 are controlled by a microprocessor or microcontroller 109 within the radio 101.
- the microprocessor/microcontroller 109 issues control signals to a power amplifier 111 within the radio 101 including a control signal to "key” the radio (turn the power amplifier on) or “dekey” the radio (turn the power amplifier off) and a control signal that determines the power resulting level (i.e., how hard the power amplifier is driven).
- the power amplifier 111 is coupled to an antenna 113 that radiates an amplified transmission signal.
- a thermistor 115 or other suitable temperature-sensitive component is mounted within the radio 105 and is coupled to the microprocessor /microcontroller 109. At intervals, the microprocessor/microcontroller 109 samples a signal produced by the thermistor 115 and converts the signal to a digital quantity. This quantity is then transmitted through the modem 103 to the host computer 105, where it is displayed graphically on a display screen of the host computer 105. If the temperature of the radio 105 exceeds a temperature at which the radio 105 may be comfortably handled, the user may be apprised of this fact by means of the graphical display 117.
- the digitized temperature reading is also used to control transmission power in such a way as to provide an opportunity for the temperature, if it is elevated, to decrease.
- a control strategy is implemented according to two temperature thresholds, a high temperature threshold and a low temperature threshold. Referring to Figure 2, assume that initially a mobile radio device is transmitting at a high power level, for example level 6 in Table I. Assuming the mobile radio device is realized as a PC Card having limited heat-sinking capabilities, as transmission continues, the temperature of the mobile radio device will steadily rise.
- the microprocessor/microcontroller 109 issues a control signal to the power amplifier 111 to cause it to "back off” to a lower power level.
- the power amplifier 111 is caused to reduce transmission power from level 6 to level 5. This reduction in power may reduce heat dissipation by half or more. Consequently, the temperature will begin to decrease. Furthermore, experimental results indicate that in the typical case, slight degradation in performance is experienced as a result of the decreased power transmission. The often negligible impact on performance may be attributed to generous margins having been built into the power level structure of Table I.
- the reduced power level is maintained until temperature has decreased to the low threshold value. At that time, the power level may be increased back to the original level, e.g., level 6.
- the high and low power levels therefore define a hysteresis band within which temperature may gradually swing from one threshold to the other.
- the temperature may not enter the hysteresis band at all or, having entered the hysteresis band, may decrease below the low threshold.
- transmission power is reduced by reducing the power level.
- This manner of operation is shown more clearly in Figure 3.
- transmission power is maintained at a high level until the microprocessor/microcontroller 109 senses that the device is too hot (i.e., the temperature has reached the high threshold). At that time, transmission power is reduced by reducing the power level.
- Transmission power may be reduced in ways other than reducing the power level.
- transmission power may be reduced by, instead of reducing the power level, inserting brief pauses at intervals during the transmission, the transmit amplifier being turned off during such pauses. The pauses are made sufficiently short in duration that the radio connection is not lost.
- One method of reducing power by inserting brief pauses during transmission is to monitor whether the host computer is transmitting or receiving data and when the host computer is in a receive mode, insert pauses into the continuously transmitted SAT signal to reduce power.
- the host computer typically receives more data than it transmits.
- the host computer may be linked to an Internet connection such that large amounts of data received by the receiver portion of radio 101 (not shown) is down loaded to the host computer 105. During this time period, radio 101 continuously transmits a SAT signal to maintain the wireless connection.
- one manner in which power is reduced is to employ microprocessor 107 to detect when the host 105 is in a receive mode and to insert pauses into the SAT signal as described above by causing the power amplifier (PA 111) to be turned off intermittently by microprocessor 109 in response to control transmitted from microprocessor 107.
