APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054571 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for efficient communication between devices to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance.
- The terminal adjusts the transmission power limit for transmitting signals to a base station to reduce power consumption at the terminal.
- The transmission power limit is adjusted based on the temperature of the terminal and the number of resource blocks allocated to the terminal, ensuring the temperature remains below a threshold.
- The transmission power limit is also adjusted based on the block error rate (BLER), ensuring the BLER remains below a threshold while minimizing the transmission power limit.
- The transmission power limit can be adjusted based on the importance of the transmissions, avoiding power wastage on less important transmissions.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile devices
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved
- Reduces power consumption in devices during communication
- Maintains performance while reducing power consumption
- Prevents overheating of devices by adjusting transmission power limit based on temperature
- Minimizes block error rate (BLER) while optimizing transmission power limit
Benefits
- Energy-efficient communication between devices
- Prolongs battery life in mobile devices
- Reduces power consumption and heat generation in devices
- Improves overall performance and reliability of wireless communication systems
Original Abstract Submitted
The devices, systems, and techniques described herein provide for efficient communications between devices to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance. In some aspects, a terminal may adjust a transmission power limit for transmitting signals to a base station to reduce power consumption at the terminal. In some examples, the terminal may adjust the transmission power limit based on a temperature of the terminal and a number of resource blocks allocated to the terminal (e.g., such that the temperature remains below a threshold). In some other examples, the terminal may adjust the transmission power limit based on a block error rate (BLER) (e.g., such that the BLER remains below a threshold while minimizing the transmission power limit). In some other examples, the terminal may adjust the transmission power limit based on an importance of one or more transmissions (e.g., to avoid wasting power on less important transmissions).
