背景技术
随着通信网络的快速普及，无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，简称：Wi-Fi)技术越来越受到大众的青睐，成为通信设备的必配功能。
尽管Wi-Fi技术给用户带来诸多便利，但是，由于其无类似2G/3G的功控技术，存在功耗较大的问题，影响了智能终端的使用。现有通信设备中，实现Wi-Fi功能需通过以下器件，如图1所示：Wi-Fi芯片、功率放大器(Power Amplifier，简称：PA)、滤波器以及天线。Wi-Fi芯片将PA设置为使能有效(PA_EN使能信号有效)，并向PA发送携带待发送数据的业务请求信号，PA在使能有效时期，对业务请求信号进行放大处理，并发送至滤波器，滤波器对经放大处理后的业务请求信号进行滤波处理后，通过天线向外部通信设备发送。
为了满足发送高速率(例如，调制方式为256QAM，64QAM)信号对线性度属性的要求，在现有技术中，Wi-Fi芯片将PA的静态偏置点设置较高,否则，将导致发送的信号截止失真；并且，Wi-Fi芯片针对不同的发送速率，为PA设置相同的静态偏置点，进而统一管理。
但是，现有技术中实现Wi-Fi功能的方案也暴露出以下缺陷：在不同的发送速率下，Wi-Fi芯片对PA设置统一的静态偏置点，使得在发送速率高时，PA的功耗处于较高的状态，在发送速率低时，PA的功耗也处于较高的状态， 导致PA的功耗一直处于较高的状态且无法降低，同时，由于PA的功耗一直处于较高的状态，通信设备中的电池需持续为Wi-Fi芯片以及PA供电，导致电池的耗电量过大。

为便于对本发明实时的理解，下面将结合附图以具体实施例做进一步的解释说明，实施例并不构成对本发明实施例的限定。
实施例一
下面以图2为例详细说明本发明实施例一提供的降低功耗方法，图2为本发明实施例一提供的降低功耗的方法流程图，在本发明实施例中，执行下述步骤的实施主体为无线通信模块，所述无线通信模块可包括在通信设备中，所述通信设备可具体为移动终端、路由器等需要进行业务数据发送的设备。如图2所示，该实施例具体包括以下步骤：
步骤210、当通信设备已开启无线保真Wi-Fi模式时，所述通信设备包括的无线通信模块识别当前是否存在待发送的业务数据。
具体地，当通信设备已开启Wi-Fi模式时，通信设备包括的无线通信模块识别当前自身是否存在有待发送的业务数据。
所述待发送的业务数据具体包括由用户输入的数据或者由通信设备中处理器生成的数据。
进一步地，在执行步骤210之前，通信设备接收用户输入的操作指令，通信设备根据操作指令，开启Wi-Fi模式，从而进入Wi-Fi模式，当通信设备进入Wi-Fi模式时，无线通信模块触发自身开始识别当前是否存在待发送的业务数据。
在一个例子中，用户希望使用通信设备进行无线网络的连接，用户首先输入操作指令，通信设备根据操作指令开启Wi-Fi模式，无线通信模块识别当前是否存在待发送的业务数据。
在本发明实施例中，所述无线通信模块具体为Wi-Fi芯片。
步骤220、如果当前存在所述业务数据，则所述无线通信模块获取所述无线通信模块的接收属性信息。
具体地，根据步骤210的识别，如果当前存在待发送的业务数据，则无线通信模块获取自身的接收属性信息。
进一步地，所述如果当前存在所述业务数据，则所述无线通信模块获取所述无线通信模块的接收属性信息具体包括：
如果当前存在待发送的业务数据，则无线通信模块检测天线所接收的接收信号的相关属性,其中，所述天线在通信设备中，接收信号具体是指与通信设备进行数据通信的另一个Wi-Fi设备发送的。根据接收信号的属性,无线通信模块可以确定发送业务数据的发送速率。其中，作为示例而非限定，所述接收属性信息具体包括：接收信号强度指示(Received Signal Strength Indication，简称：RSSI)信息以及误包率(pairwise error probability)， 简称：PER)信息。
根据步骤210中的例子，用户再次输入用于无线网络连接的用户名及密码，无线通信模块识别到当前存在待发送的业务数据，则无线通信模块获取RSSI信息以及PER信息。
步骤230、利用所述接收属性信息，所述无线通信模块确定发送所述业务数据的发送速率。
具体地，根据步骤220中获取的接收属性信息，无线通信模块确定出发送待发送的业务数据的发送速率。
进一步地，所述利用所述接收属性信息，所述无线通信模块确定发送所述业务数据的发送速率具体包括：
利用RSSI信息以及PER信息，无线通信模块从存储的发送速率表中查找出与信号强度指示RSSI信息以及误包率PER信息相匹配的发送业务数据的发送速率。
所述发送速率表为各生产厂商在无线通信模块出厂前，生产厂商自行确定的，并且各生产厂商确定的发送速率表不相同。
需要说明的是，所述发送速率具体是指无线通信模块发送业务数据时，采用的物理层发送速率(PHY_RATE)。
在本发明实施例中，所述发送速率表存储在无线通信模块的存储单元中，为制造厂商在无线通信模块出厂前进行存储的，在发送速率表中，包括了多个RSSI信息以及PER信息对应的不同发送速率。
步骤240、根据所述发送速率，所述无线通信模块确定与所述无线通信模块连接的功率放大器的供电电压值，以使得所述功率放大器在所述供电电压值下，对携带所述业务数据的业务请求信号进行放大处理。
具体地，根据步骤230中确定出的发送速率，无线通信模块确定出与自身相连接的功率放大器的供电电压值，以使得功率放大器在该供电电压值下，对携带业务数据的业务请求信号进行放大处理。在本发明实施例中，由于无 线通信模块根据不同的发送速率，确定出功率放大器的供电电压值，并且根据不同的供电电压值为功率放大器确定不同位置的静态工作点，使得功率放大器在使能期，根据不同的发送速率，调整功耗，进而实现了降低功率放大的功耗，同时，也降低通信设备中电池的耗电量，达到省电的目的。
进一步地，所述根据所述发送速率，所述无线通信模块确定与所述无线通信模块连接的功率放大器的供电电压值具体包括：
根据所述发送速率，所述无线通信模块获取所述发送速率对应的调制与编码策略MCS索引号。如表1所示，表1为MCS与发送速率对应表；
表1 MCS与发送速率对应表
Figure PCTCN2014095754-appb-000001
在表1中，每一个调制与编码策略(Modulation and Coding Scheme，简称：MCS)索引号均对应了一组RSSI信息以及PER信息对应的发送速率，也即是，多个发送速率对应1个MCS索引号。
其中，表1中，GI为保护间隔(Guard Interval)为了保证数据传输的 可靠性，无线通信模块在发送业务数据时，相邻发送的业务数据之间会设置有保护间隔，即GI，用以保证接收方能够正确的解析出各个业务数据；ns为纳秒。
表1中，BPSK为移相键控(Binary Phase Shift Keying，简称：BPSK)。是一种利用偏离相位的复数波浪组合来表现信息键控移相的方式。BPSK使用了基准的正弦波和相位反转的波浪，使一方为0，另一方为1，从而可以同时发送接收1比特的信息。
QPSK为正交相移键控(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying，简称：QPSK)，或四相移键控；是利用载波的四种不同相位差来表征输入的数字信息。QPSK中每次调制可传输2个比特的信息，这些信息是通过载波的四种相位来传递的。
QAM为正交幅度调制(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation，简称：QAM)；是用两路独立的基带信号对两个相互正交的同频载波进行抑制载波双边带调幅，利用这种已调信号的频谱在同一带宽内的正交性，实现两路并行的数字信息的传输。16-QAM是指包含16种符号的QAM调制方式；64-QAM是指包括64种符号的QAM调制方式；256QAM是指256种符号的QAM调制方式。
在获取与发送速率对应的MCS索引号后，根据该MCS索引号，无线通信模块获取该MCS索引号所属的速率分组类别n。如表2所示，表2为速率分组类别表。
表2速率分组类别表
Figure PCTCN2014095754-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2014095754-appb-000003
在获取该MCS索引号所属的速率分组类别n后，利用速率分组类别n，无线通信模块确定与速率分组类别匹配的功率放大器的供电电压值VCC，以使得功率放大器在供电电压值下，对携带业务数据的业务请求信号进行放大处理。如表3所示，表3为供电电压表。
表3供电电压表
类别n 供电电压VCC
1 V1
2 V2
3 V3
4 V4
5 V5
在表3中，供电电压VCC包括的Vi电压值即为功率放大器的供电电压值。
在一个例子中，无线通信模块在步骤230中确定出发送待发送的业务数据的发送速率对应的MCS索引号为0号。则该MCS0索引号所属的速率分组类别n等于1，即第一类别，再根据第一类别对应的供电电压为V1，进而无线通信模块确定功率放大器的供电电压值为V1，以使得功率放大器在供电电压值为V1的情况下，对携带业务数据的业务请求信号进行放大处理。
可选地，在本发明实施例步骤240之后，还包括无线通信模块向直流-直 流转换器发送第一控制信号的步骤，通过该步骤，直流-直流转换器根据第一控制信号包括的第一供电信息，为功率放大器进行供电。具体步骤如下：

具体地，无线通信模块确定出功率放大器的供电电压值后，无线通信模块生成第一控制信号，所述第一控制信号包括第一供电信息，即功率放大器的供电电压值，无线通信模块将向与自身连接的直流-直流转换器发送第一控制信号，以使的直流-直流转换器根据第一供电信息，为功率放大器提供匹配的供电电压值。
可选地，在本发明实施例步骤210的识别步骤中，还包括另一种实现情况，即如果当前未存在待发送的业务数据，则所述无线通信模块确定所述功率放大器的供电电压值为0V。
所述无线通信模块向与所述无线通信模块连接的直流-直流转换器发送第二控制信号，所述第二控制信号包括第二供电信息，以使得所述直流-直流转换器根据所述第二供电信息，停止为所述功率放大器提供匹配的供电电压值。
具体地，无线通信模块确定出功率放大器的供电电压值为0V后，无线通信模块生成第二控制信号，所述第二控制信号包括第二供电信息，即功率放大器的供电电压值为0V，无线通信模块将向与自身连接的直流-直流转换器发送第二控制信号，以使的直流-直流转换器根据第二供电信息，停止为功率放大器提供匹配的供电电压值，进而降低功率放大器的功耗，达到省电的目的。
可选地，在本发明实施例步骤240之后，还包括无线通信模块判断待发送的业务数据是否已发送完毕的步骤，根据发送的实际情况，确定功率放大器的供电电压值，降低功率放大器的功耗，达到省电的目的。具体步骤如下：
所述无线通信模块判断所述业务数据是否已发送完毕；
如果所述业务数据已发送完毕，则所述无线通信模块确定所述功率放大器的供电电压值为0V；
如果所述业务数据未发送完毕，则所述无线通信模块获取所述接收属性信息。
具体地，无线通信模块在确定功率放大器的供电电压值后，判断待发送的业务数据是否已发送完毕。
如果待发送的业务数据已发送完毕，则无线通信模块确定功率放大器的供电电压值为0V，并生成第二控制信号，所述第二控制信号包括第二供电信息，向直流-直流转换器发送第二控制信号，以使的直流-直流转换器根据第二供电信息，停止为功率放大器提供匹配的供电电压值，进而降低功率放大器的功耗，达到省电的目的。
如果待发送业务数据未发送完毕，则无线通信模块再次获取接收属性信息，重复执行步骤220至步骤240；根据当前获取的RSSI信息以及PER信息重新确定发送业务数据的发送速率，并调整功率放大器的供电电压值，进而降低功率放大器的功耗，达到省电的目的。
因此，通过应用本发明实施例提供的降低功耗的方法，无线通信模块根据获取的接收属性信息，确定发送待发送的业务数据的发送速率，并根据发送速率确定与自身连接的功率放大器的供电电压值，以使得功率放大器在确定的供电电压值下，对携带业务数据的业务请求信号进行放大处理，由于无线通信模块根据不同的发送速率，确定出功率放大器的供电电压值，进而根据不同的供电电压值为功率放大器确定不同位置的静态工作点，使得功率放大器在使能期，根据不同的发送速率，调整功耗，进而实现了降低功率放大的功耗，同时，也降低通信设备中电池的耗电量，达到省电的目的。
为便于对本发明实时的理解，下面将结合附图3对实施例一中降低功耗的方法进行具体描述。图3为本发明实施例提供的硬件电路框图。
在图3中，无线通信模块具体通过Wi-Fi芯片实现，Wi-Fi芯片分别与功 率放大器、直流-直流转换器连接，直流-直流转换器与功率放大器连接，为功率放大器提供供电电压，功率放大器与滤波器连接，滤波器与天线连接。
上述Wi-Fi芯片、功率放大器、直流-直流转换器、滤波器连接以及天线均处于通信设备中。工作过程如下：
当通信设备已开启Wi-Fi模式时，Wi-Fi芯片识别当前自身是否存在有待发送的业务数据，如果当前存在待发送的业务数据，则Wi-Fi芯片获取接收属性信息。
Wi-Fi芯片通过功率放大器、滤波器向天线发送检测信号，并接收天线反馈的反射信号；根据反射信号，Wi-Fi芯片获取接收属性信息，所述接收属性信息具体包括：RSSI信息以及PER信息。
Wi-Fi芯片确定出发送业务数据的发送速率。利用RSSI信息以及PER信息，Wi-Fi芯片从存储的发送速率表中查找出与RSSI信息以及PER信息相匹配的发送业务数据的发送速率(Wi-Fi芯片根据RSSI信息以及PER信息确定出发送业务数据的发送速率在前述实施例一中已详细描述，在此不再复述)。
根据确定出的发送速率，Wi-Fi芯片确定出功率放大器的供电电压值(Wi-Fi芯片根据发送速率确定出功率放大器的供电电压值在前述实施例一中已详细描述，在此不再复述)，并向直流-直流转换器发送第一控制信号，直流-直流转换器根据第一控制信号包括的第一供电信息，为功率放大器提供匹配的供电电压值，以使得功率放大器在该供电电压值下，对携带业务数据的业务请求信号进行放大处理。
在本发明实施例中，由于Wi-Fi芯片根据不同的发送速率，确定出功率放大器的供电电压值，并且根据不同的供电电压值为功率放大器确定不同位置的静态工作点，使得功率放大器在使能期，根据不同的发送速率，调整功耗，进而实现了降低功率放大的功耗，同时，也降低通信设备中电池的耗电量，达到省电的目的。
