Managing power consumption of transmission circuitry in a wireless communication device |
摘要 |
Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that manage transmit power levels for a wireless device connected to a network access system of a wireless network. Processing circuitry in the wireless device obtains a target average transmit power level. Based on estimates of an actual average transmit power level for a sliding window of a past time period and the target average transmit power level, the processing circuitry determines a target transmit power level, a duty cycle percentage, and a transmit pattern of transmit on frames and transmit off frames for a future time period. The processing circuitry sends to the access network system signaling messages indicating non-zero valued buffer status reports for the transmit on frames and zero valued buffer status reports for the transmit off frames. Non-zero values correspond to actual amounts of pending uplink data, while zero values are sent irrespective of actual uplink buffer status. |

1. A processing circuitry apparatus configurable for operation in a wireless device, the processing circuitry apparatus comprising:
a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processing circuitry apparatus to:
estimate an actual average transmit power level for a recent past time period by at least calculating an average transmit power level over a sliding window that includes the recent past time period;determine a transmit pattern of transmit on frames and transmit off frames for a future time period based at least in part on a target average transmit power level for the future time period and the estimated actual average transmit power level for the recent past time period; andsend to a wireless network a set of one or more signaling messages that indicate a non-zero amount of data for the transmit on frames and a zero amount of data for the transmit off frames. |
