[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario for determining energy efficiency provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the scenario may include a communication device 102 and multiple wireless devices 104. The communication device 102 may perform data transmission with the wireless device 104 through a network. For example, the communication device 102 obtains the data rate, energy consumption, antenna gain, power amplifier transmission power, feeder loss from the power amplifier to the antenna port, etc. transmitted by the wireless device 104.

[0043] The wireless device 104 may be a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in Global System of Mobilecommunication (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), or a base station (NodeB, NB) in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), or an evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or access point, or a base station in a 5G network, etc., and is not limited here.

[0044] The communication device 102 may be a terminal with wireless communication function, which may be a device that provides voice and / or other service data connectivity to a user, or a handheld device with wireless connection function, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (Radio Access Network, referred to as RAN), and the terminal may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges language and / or data with the radio access network.

[0045] In traditional technology, energy efficiency is usually defined as the number of bits transmitted per unit of energy (bits / J, bits / joule), which is equivalent to the rate corresponding to each unit of power consumed (Mbps / W, rate / energy consumption power). However, the above definition does not take into account the coverage performance of wireless devices such as coverage area and coverage distance. Therefore, using the above definition to evaluate the energy efficiency of wireless devices has the problem of unreasonable evaluation. For example, the rate corresponding to each unit of power of wireless device A is greater than the rate corresponding to each unit of power of wireless device B. Based on this, the evaluation result is that the energy efficiency of wireless device A is higher than the energy efficiency of wireless device B. Based on this evaluation result, the user may choose wireless device A. But in fact, the coverage area of ​​wireless device A is much smaller than the coverage area of ​​wireless device B, and the selection of wireless device A cannot meet actual needs.

[0046] Based on the above-mentioned traditional technology, an embodiment of the present application provides a new energy efficiency determination scheme. When determining the energy efficiency of a wireless device, the scheme takes into account the coverage performance of the wireless device. Therefore, the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be evaluated more reasonably, and a more reasonable evaluation result can be obtained, thereby assisting users in selecting a wireless device that better meets actual needs.

[0047] It should be noted that the beneficial effects brought about by the embodiments of the present application or the technical problems solved are not limited to this one, but may also include other implicit or related problems. For details, please refer to the description of the following embodiments.

[0048] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for determining energy consumption efficiency is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 1The communication device in FIG. 1 is taken as an example to illustrate, and the following steps are included:

[0050] Step 201: determining the energy consumption efficiency of the wireless device according to the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption of the wireless device and at least one target parameter.

[0051] Among them, the target parameter is used to characterize the coverage performance of the wireless device; the energy consumption of the wireless device is the energy consumed by the wireless device, and the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption can characterize the throughput performance of the wireless device.

[0052] The communication device can obtain the data rate, energy consumption and target parameters characterizing the coverage performance of the wireless device, determine the ratio of the transmitted data rate to the energy consumption, and obtain the data rate transmitted by the wireless device per unit energy consumption; then determine the product of the data rate transmitted by the wireless device per unit energy consumption and the target parameter to obtain the energy efficiency of the wireless device. Refer to formula (1):

[0053]

[0054] Among them, E N is the energy efficiency of the wireless device, R is the data rate transmitted by the wireless device, W is the energy consumption of the wireless device, and X is the target parameter.

[0055] For example, the data rate transmitted by wireless device A is R1, the energy consumption is W1, and the target parameter is X1, and the data rate transmitted by wireless device B is R2, the energy consumption is W2, and the target parameter is X2. According to the definition of energy efficiency provided in the embodiment of the present application, it can be determined that the data rate transmitted by wireless device A per unit energy consumption is R1 / W1, and the energy efficiency of wireless device A is E NA =(R1 / W1)*X1, the data rate transmitted by wireless device B per unit energy consumption is R2 / W2, and the energy efficiency of wireless device B is E NB =(R2 / W2)*X2. Since the target parameter X2 is much larger than the target parameter X1, the evaluation result can be determined as the energy efficiency E of the wireless device B. NA Higher than the energy efficiency E of wireless device A NA Based on the evaluation results, the user can choose wireless device B to better meet actual needs.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the target parameter is used to represent the coverage performance of the wireless device. Therefore, the target parameter can be determined from the parameters that can reflect the coverage performance of the wireless device. For example, the target parameter may include one or more parameters such as antenna gain, antenna radiation area, antenna transmit power, receive power, antenna port feed, antenna loss, antenna transmit frequency, antenna receive frequency, scene loss, etc. Some parameters that can characterize the coverage performance of the wireless device can be flexibly selected as the above-mentioned target parameters according to the actual scenario and needs, and are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0057] The data rate and target parameters transmitted by the wireless device per unit energy consumption can be input by the user into the communication device, or obtained by the communication device from a cloud database, or calculated by the communication device based on the device parameters of the wireless device. It should be noted that the acquisition method includes but is not limited to the method described above, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0058] In the above energy efficiency determination method, the energy efficiency of the wireless device is determined based on the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption of the wireless device and at least one target parameter. The target parameter represents the coverage performance of the wireless device, that is, when determining the energy efficiency of the wireless device, in addition to considering the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption of the wireless device, the coverage performance of the wireless device is also considered. In this way, the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be evaluated more reasonably, and a more reasonable evaluation result can be obtained, thereby assisting users to select wireless devices that better meet actual needs.

[0059] The above embodiment describes that adding target parameters can improve rationality when evaluating the energy efficiency of wireless devices. The specific content of the target parameters is introduced below.

[0060] In one embodiment, the at least one target parameter includes an antenna effective radiation area of ​​the wireless device.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the wireless device is provided with an antenna, and the electromagnetic waves radiated outward by the antenna have a certain directionality. If the radiation intensity of the antenna in each direction is represented by a vector triggered from the origin, the curved surface formed by connecting all the vector endpoints is the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna. Since the electromagnetic wave energy radiated by the antenna is mainly concentrated in the specified direction, while the radiation in other directions is weak, the radiation in the specified direction can be determined as effective radiation, and the area of ​​the curved surface in the specified direction can be determined as the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna.

[0062] It can be understood that since the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can characterize the coverage performance of the wireless device, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is used as one of the target parameters. In practical applications, after determining the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption of the wireless device, the product of the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption and the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be calculated to obtain the energy efficiency of the wireless device, referring to formula (2):

[0063]

[0064] Where E N is the energy efficiency of the wireless device, R is the data rate transmitted by the wireless device, W is the energy consumption, and S is the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna.

[0065] In the above embodiment, at least one target parameter includes the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna of the wireless device. The energy efficiency of the wireless device can be determined more reasonably based on the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna. When the user selects a wireless device based on the energy efficiency, a wireless device that better meets actual needs can be selected.

[0066] The above embodiment introduces that the energy efficiency of the wireless device is related to the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna. The following introduces the parameters related to the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna. In one embodiment, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is related to the antenna gain of the wireless device.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the antenna gain can quantitatively describe the degree to which an antenna concentrates the input power for radiation. Under the same conditions, the higher the antenna gain, the longer the distance of electromagnetic wave radiation. It can be seen that the antenna gain can also characterize the coverage performance of the wireless device.

[0068] Antenna gain is usually based on the radiation intensity of an omnidirectional antenna or a half-wave dipole antenna with the same input power in a certain direction. The above-mentioned antenna stereo radiation pattern can be determined based on the antenna gain in multiple directions. In practical applications, the antenna gain in a specified direction is determined, and the antenna effective radiation area can be calculated based on the antenna gain in the specified direction. Then, the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be determined based on the antenna effective radiation area.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is related to the antenna gain of the wireless device. The effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be determined according to the antenna gain, and then the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be determined. Since the antenna gain is easy to obtain, it is more feasible to determine the energy efficiency of the wireless device according to the antenna gain.

[0070] In one embodiment, the antenna effective radiation area is related to the maximum antenna gain of the wireless device.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna can be determined according to the antenna gain, and the partial curved surface at the farthest end of the specified direction on the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna can be determined according to the maximum antenna gain. The effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is the area of ​​the radiating surface within a certain gain range on the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna, for example, the area of ​​the radiating surface within the range of the maximum antenna gain to the maximum antenna gain -3dB. Therefore, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be determined according to the maximum antenna gain of the wireless device.

[0072] Optionally, the maximum antenna gain includes a maximum antenna gain in a horizontal direction and a maximum antenna gain in a vertical direction.

[0073] In practical applications, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, or according to the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, or according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction. It can be understood that the method for determining the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna includes but is not limited to the method described above, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is related to the maximum antenna gain of the wireless device, and the maximum antenna gain includes the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction. Since the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction are considered at the same time, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be determined more accurately, thereby making it more accurate to determine the energy efficiency of the wireless device.

[0075] In one embodiment, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, the threshold value in the horizontal direction, the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, and the threshold value in the vertical direction.

[0076] The horizontal direction threshold value is a gain value decreasing from the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, and the vertical direction threshold value is a gain value decreasing from the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction. Optionally, the horizontal direction threshold value may be 3dB, and the vertical direction threshold value may be 3dB. It should be noted that the horizontal direction threshold value and the vertical direction threshold value may be set according to actual conditions.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the portion of the curved surface at the farthest end of the specified direction on the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna can be determined in the horizontal direction according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the threshold value in the horizontal direction, and in the vertical direction according to the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction and the threshold value in the vertical direction. The effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be obtained by calculating the area of ​​the portion of the curved surface at the farthest end of the specified direction on the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna.

[0078] In one embodiment, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is obtained by integrating the radiation area according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, the first antenna gain, the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction and the second antenna gain; the first antenna gain is determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the horizontal threshold value; the second antenna gain is determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction and the vertical threshold value.

[0079] In practical applications, the first antenna gain is determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the horizontal threshold value, and the second antenna gain is determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction and the vertical threshold value; by integrating the first antenna gain in the horizontal direction to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and integrating the second antenna gain in the vertical direction to the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be obtained, as shown in formula (3):

[0080]

[0081] Where S is the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, G H is the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, N H is the horizontal threshold, G H -N H is the first antenna gain, G V Maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, N V is the vertical threshold, G V is the second antenna gain.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna is determined according to the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, the horizontal threshold value, the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, and the vertical threshold value. Since the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction are easy to obtain, the horizontal threshold value and the vertical threshold value can be set according to actual conditions. Therefore, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can be quickly determined, thereby quickly determining the energy consumption efficiency of the wireless device. Not only is the operability strong, but the efficiency of determining the energy consumption efficiency is also high.

[0083] In addition to the above antenna effective radiation area that can reflect the coverage area of ​​the wireless device, the target parameter can also be other parameters that can characterize the transmission performance of the wireless device. In one embodiment, at least one target parameter includes a transmission parameter of the wireless device; the transmission parameter is used to characterize the transmission performance of the wireless device.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission parameter of the wireless device can represent the transmission performance of the wireless device. The transmission performance of the wireless device is positively correlated with the coverage performance of the wireless device, that is, the stronger the transmission performance of the wireless device, the stronger the coverage performance of the wireless device; the weaker the transmission performance of the wireless device, the weaker the coverage performance of the wireless device. Therefore, the transmission parameter of the wireless device can be used as one of the target parameters.

[0085] Optionally, the transmission parameters include power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain, and feeder loss from the power amplifier to the antenna port.

[0086] The power amplifier transmission power may include the output power of the wireless device, or the output power of the power amplifier device in the wireless device.

[0087] In practical applications, the power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain and power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss are taken as target parameters. After the communication device determines the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be determined based on the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption and the power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain and power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss. Refer to formula (4):

[0088]

[0089] Among them, E N is the energy efficiency of the wireless device, R is the data rate transmitted by the wireless device, W is the energy consumption of the wireless device, P is the power amplifier transmit power, G is the antenna gain (in dBi), and L is the feeder loss from the power amplifier to the antenna port.

[0090] Optionally, the antenna gain includes a maximum antenna gain in a horizontal direction or a maximum antenna gain in a vertical direction.

[0091] It can be understood that the antenna gain in formula (4) can be the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, or the average of the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, or the maximum value of the two. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0092] In the above embodiment, at least one target parameter includes a transmission parameter of the wireless device, which represents the transmission capability of the wireless device and is positively correlated with the coverage capability of the wireless device. The energy efficiency of the wireless device is determined based on the data rate and the transmission parameter transmitted per unit energy consumption, which means that not only the throughput performance of the wireless device but also the coverage performance of the wireless device are taken into consideration. Therefore, the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be evaluated more reasonably and a more reasonable evaluation result can be obtained, thereby assisting users in selecting a wireless device that better meets actual needs.

[0093] In addition to the above-mentioned antenna effective radiation area reflecting the coverage area and the transmission parameters reflecting the transmission performance of the wireless device, the target parameters may also include parameters affecting the coverage performance of the wireless device, such as the frequency of the wireless device and the coverage scenario of the wireless device. In one embodiment, at least one target parameter includes a frequency and scenario loss factor.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the coverage performance of the wireless device is related to the frequency of the wireless device and the coverage scenario of the wireless device. The communication device can determine the frequency and scenario loss factor according to the frequency of the wireless device and the coverage scenario of the wireless device, and then determine the energy efficiency of the wireless device according to the data rate, frequency and scenario loss factor transmitted per unit energy consumption, referring to formula (5):

[0095]

[0096] Among them, E N is the energy efficiency of the wireless device, R is the data rate transmitted by the wireless device, W is the energy consumption of the wireless device, and L i is the frequency and scene loss factor.

[0097] In the above embodiment, at least one target parameter includes a frequency and scenario loss factor, wherein the frequency and scenario loss factor can reflect the frequency of the wireless device and the coverage scenario of the wireless device. Therefore, determining the energy consumption efficiency of the wireless device based on the frequency and scenario loss factor takes into account the frequency of the wireless device and the coverage scenario of the wireless device. Compared with the traditional technology that only considers the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, the evaluation method provided in the embodiment of the present application is more reasonable.

[0098] Optionally, the frequency and scenario loss factor is related to the frequency of the wireless device, a reference frequency and an attenuation weighting factor.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the communication device obtains the frequency, reference frequency and attenuation weight factor of the wireless device, first calculates the loss of the frequency of the wireless device relative to the reference frequency, and then calculates the frequency and scene loss factor according to the loss and attenuation weight factor. Refer to formula (6):

[0100]

[0101] Among them, L i is the frequency and scene loss factor, F i is the frequency of the wireless device, F l is the reference frequency, and fi is the attenuation weight factor.

[0102] The frequency, reference frequency and attenuation weight factor of the wireless device can be obtained by a user inputting into the communication device, or obtained by the communication device from a cloud database, or obtained by the communication device from the wireless device when the communication device communicates with the wireless device. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the acquisition method, and it can be set according to actual conditions.

[0103] Further, the reference frequency may be a lowest frequency or a reference frequency of the wireless device.

[0104] In practical applications, the lowest frequency of the wireless device can be used as the reference frequency. The communication device first calculates the loss of the frequency of the wireless device relative to the lowest frequency of the wireless device, and then calculates the frequency and scene loss factor based on the loss and attenuation weight factor. Alternatively, when evaluating the energy efficiency of multiple wireless devices, one of the frequencies of multiple wireless devices can be selected as a reference frequency. In this way, when evaluating the energy efficiency of each wireless device, the reference frequency can be used as the reference frequency. It should be noted that the reference frequency can include but is not limited to the lowest frequency or the reference frequency, or other frequencies.

[0105] Optionally, the attenuation weight factor is related to the coverage scenario of the wireless device.

[0106] The coverage scenarios of wireless devices include, but are not limited to, free space, dense urban areas, etc. The free space can be determined based on the line-of-sight propagation distance.

[0107] In actual applications, users can set the attenuation weight factor according to the coverage scenario of the wireless device. For example, the attenuation weight factor corresponding to the free space is set to 2, and the attenuation weight factor corresponding to the dense urban area is set to 3 or greater. It can be understood that the more open and unobstructed the coverage scenario of the wireless device is, the more conducive it is to the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the smaller the attenuation weight factor is; and the more obstructions there are in the coverage scenario of the wireless device, the more unfavorable it is to the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the larger the attenuation weight factor is.

[0108] Based on formula (5) and formula (6), the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be determined, referring to formula (7):

[0109]

[0110] Among them, E N is the energy efficiency of the wireless device, R is the data rate transmitted by the wireless device, W is the energy consumption of the wireless device, and F i is the frequency of the wireless device, F l is the reference frequency, and fi is the attenuation weight factor.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the frequency and scene loss factor is related to the frequency, reference frequency and attenuation weight factor of the wireless device, the reference frequency is the lowest frequency or reference frequency of the wireless device, and the attenuation weight factor is related to the coverage scene of the wireless device. Determining the energy efficiency of the wireless device based on the frequency and scene loss factor is to take into account the influence of the frequency of the wireless device and the coverage scene of the wireless device on the energy efficiency. Compared with the traditional technology that only considers the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, the evaluation method provided by the embodiment of the present application is more reasonable.

[0112] Based on the above embodiments, it can be known that the antenna effective radiation area and the transmission parameters are related to the antenna gain, so a solution that can quickly and easily determine the antenna gain is needed. In one embodiment, the antenna gain is determined by the antenna's three-dimensional radiation pattern.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna can be obtained in advance, so that when determining the energy efficiency of the wireless device, the antenna gain can be determined based on the three-dimensional radiation pattern of the antenna, and the effective radiation area and / or transmission parameters of the antenna can be determined based on the antenna gain, and then the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be determined based on the effective radiation area and / or transmission parameters of the antenna.

[0114] The above-mentioned method for obtaining the stereoscopic radiation pattern of the antenna may include: obtaining the stereoscopic radiation pattern of the antenna of the wireless device by testing, or constructing the stereoscopic radiation pattern of the antenna by using the horizontal pattern and the vertical pattern of the antenna. It should be noted that the method for obtaining the stereoscopic radiation pattern of the antenna includes but is not limited to the above description, and other methods may also be used to obtain it in actual applications.

[0115] In the above embodiment, the antenna gain is determined by the antenna stereo radiation pattern. Since the antenna stereo radiation pattern is easy to obtain, it is more feasible and efficient to determine the antenna gain based on the antenna stereo radiation pattern and then determine the energy efficiency of the wireless device based on the antenna gain.

[0116] In one embodiment, at least one target parameter includes antenna effective radiation area, power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain, power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, the product of antenna gain, power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor can reflect the coverage distance, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna can reflect the coverage range, and the product of antenna gain, power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor and antenna effective radiation area can reflect the coverage performance of the wireless device. Therefore, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, the power amplifier transmission power, the antenna gain, power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor can all be used as target parameters, and the above target parameters are all adopted when determining the energy efficiency of the wireless device.

[0118] In one of the embodiments, the step of determining the energy efficiency of the wireless device based on the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption of the wireless device and at least one target parameter may include: substituting the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, the power amplifier transmission power, the antenna gain, the feeder loss from the power amplifier to the antenna port, the frequency and the scene loss factor into a preset parameter formula to obtain the energy efficiency.

[0119] A parameter formula for energy efficiency is established in advance. When determining the energy efficiency of a wireless device, the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, the power amplifier transmit power, the antenna gain, the feeder loss from the power amplifier to the antenna port, the frequency and the scene loss factor are first obtained respectively. Then, the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, the power amplifier transmit power, the antenna gain, the feeder loss from the power amplifier to the antenna port, the frequency and the scene loss factor are substituted into the parameter formula to calculate the energy efficiency of the wireless device.

[0123] Based on formulas (3), (6) and (8), the energy efficiency can be determined using formula (9):

[0124]

[0125] Among them, E Nis the energy efficiency, R is the transmitted data rate, W is the energy consumption, S is the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, P is the power amplifier transmission power, G is the antenna gain, L is the power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, Li is the frequency and scene loss factor, F i is the frequency of the wireless device, F l is the reference frequency, fi is the attenuation weight factor, S is the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna, G H is the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction, N H is the horizontal threshold, G V Maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, N V is the vertical threshold.

[0126] In the above embodiment, at least one target parameter includes antenna effective radiation area, power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain, power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor, and the data rate transmitted per unit energy consumption, antenna effective radiation area, power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain, power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor are substituted into the preset parameter formula to obtain energy efficiency. The embodiment of the present application provides a new energy efficiency determination scheme, which takes into account the throughput performance and coverage performance of the wireless device. Therefore, the energy efficiency of the wireless device can be evaluated more reasonably, and a more reasonable evaluation result can be obtained, thereby well assisting users in selecting wireless devices.

[0127] Based on the above embodiments, the original definition of energy efficiency is: the amount of bits transmitted per unit energy (bits / J, bits / joule), which is equivalent to the rate corresponding to each unit power consumed (Mbps / W, rate / energy consumption power), as shown in formula (9).

[0128]

[0129] Among them, E0 is the energy efficiency originally defined, B is the number of bits transmitted, and Q is the energy consumption of the wireless device.

[0130] The new definition of energy efficiency provided in the embodiments of the present application is: the energy efficiency of a wireless device is defined and evaluated by the product of the data rate that can be transmitted per unit energy consumption and the power amplifier transmission power, antenna gain, feeder loss, frequency and scene loss factor, and the effective radiation area of ​​the antenna.

[0131] The following is a complete process for determining energy efficiency, such as Figure 3 As shown, the process may include the following steps:

[0132] Step 1: Select the frequency supported by the wireless device to be evaluated;

[0133] Step 2: Take the lowest frequency of the wireless device as the reference frequency or select a frequency as the reference frequency to calculate the frequency F of the wireless device. i Relative to the reference frequency F l loss;

[0134] Step 3: Select the coverage scenario of the wireless device;

[0135] Step 4: according to the coverage scenario facing the wireless device, set the frequency attenuation weight factor fi of the wireless device in the coverage scenario;

[0136] Step 5: Based on Step 2 and Step 4, the frequency attenuation loss factor Li is included in the evaluation;

[0137] Step 6: Obtain the stereoscopic radiation pattern of the antenna of the wireless device by testing or other methods, or construct the stereoscopic radiation pattern of the antenna of the wireless device by using the horizontal pattern and the vertical pattern of the antenna;

[0138] Step 7: Obtain the antenna gain of the wireless device, which may be the maximum antenna gain in the horizontal direction and the maximum antenna gain in the vertical direction, MAX(G H , G V );

[0139] Step 8: Set the horizontal threshold and the vertical threshold, for example, both are set to 3dB;

[0140] Step 9, calculating the effective radiation area S above the gain threshold of the antenna three-dimensional radiation surface; wherein the gain threshold includes the first antenna gain and the second antenna gain;

[0141] Step 10: Obtain the power amplifier to antenna port feeder loss L of the wireless device;

[0142] Step 11: Obtain the data rate R transmitted by the wireless device and the energy consumption W of the wireless device

[0143] Step 12: Calculate the energy consumption efficiency of the wireless device according to step 5, step 9, step 10 and step 11.
