METHODS AND DEVICES FOR BOOSTING TRANSMISSION POWER OF A SIGNAL IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A method for transmitting a signal in a wireless communications network includes calculating, by a network element, first and second average powers. The first average power is associated with a first time period of a downlink transmission between a transmitter associated with the network element and at least one user, and the second average power is associated with a second time period of the downlink transmission. The method includes transmitting, by the transmitter, the signal at one of a rated transmission power and a boosted transmission power based on a first threshold value associated with the first average power and a second threshold value associated with the second average power. The rated transmission power is less than or equal to a long-term average power limit associated with a power amplifier of the transmitter, and the boosted transmission is greater than the rated power.

1. A method for transmitting a signal in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
calculating, by a network element, first and second average powers, the first average power being associated with a first time period of a downlink transmission between a transmitter associated with the network element and at least one user, the second average power being associated with a second time period of the downlink transmission; and transmitting, by the transmitter, the signal at one of a rated transmission power and a boosted transmission power based on a first threshold value associated with the first average power and a second threshold value associated with the second average power, the rated transmission power being less than or equal to a long-term average power limit associated with a power amplifier of the transmitter, the boosted transmission being greater than the rated power.
