APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRIORITIZED APPORTIONMENT OF TRANSMISSION POWER IN A MULTI-CARRIER TERMINAL

摘要

In a multi-carrier access terminal having a transmitter with a single power amplifier, maximum transmission power available for a multi-carrier signal transmitted by the terminal is apportioned among a plurality of carriers on a priority basis. Following apportionment, the carriers are combined into a multi-carrier signal, amplified by the power amplifier and transmitted.
