Levels of power reduction for signals to be transmitted from a mobile communications device via radio channels in a digital wireless communications system, where each signal is modulated according to one of a number of modulation configurations, are determined. For each modulation configuration a first estimate of a power reduction is calculated (101), and the calculated first estimates are storied (102) in the device. The method comprises the steps of determining (103) a limited set of modulation configurations, said limited set comprising modulation configurations that have been determined likely to be used in practice; calculating (104) for each modulation configuration of the limited set an optimized estimate of a power reduction; and storing (105) the calculated optimized estimates in the device. In this way the power consumption of the device is reduced while keeping a look-up table at a reasonable size. |
