According to the teachings presented herein, dynamic mapping is used to determine which multi-carrier power amplifiers (MCPAs) provide the required transmit power for individual ones of the transmitters in a base station. With dynamic mapping, the required transmit power of any one or more of the transmitters can be distributed to more than one MCPA, providing for more efficient 'packing' of required transmit powers into the available transmit powers of the MCPAs, and/or providing for power mapping based on any one or more mapping criterion, As a non-limiting advantage, the dynamic mapping presented herein reduces the number of MCPAs needed to support a given number of transmitters. |
