Data Modulation Constellation Scaling for 5G Amplifier Linearity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In high-frequency wireless communication systems like 5G, terminals at different distances from the service node experience varying modulation manners, leading to high peak-to-average power ratios that strain power amplifiers, necessitating inefficient power back-off and affecting modulation efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A data modulation method that determines a modulation parameter A based on the modulation manner, using a target constellation point symbol to flexibly adjust power control, ensuring signals remain in the linear region of the power amplifier, thereby improving efficiency and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If power back-off is applied to maintain power amplifier linearity, then the power amplifier works in linear region, but modulation efficiency decreases and power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing optimal constellation point adjustments in a lookup table before transmission. The service node determines the modulation parameter based on the modulation manner and retrieves the pre-computed adjustment values, avoiding real-time complex calculations and enabling quick power back-off while maintaining efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the modulation parameter (amplitude scaling factor) based on the modulation manner to adjust the constellation point density. By modifying the parameter A that scales the constellation points, the system adapts the signal characteristics to match power amplifier constraints while optimizing efficiency
2Productivity
If high-order modulation is used to improve data rate, then transmission capacity increases, but peak-to-average power ratio increases causing power amplifier strain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adjusting constellation points differently based on their position and the specific modulation manner. Different modulation modes (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM) receive different scaling factors A, creating locally optimized signal characteristics for each modulation type while maintaining overall system performance
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts the modulation parameter A according to the modulation manner being used. The service node determines the appropriate scaling factor based on the current modulation mode, enabling flexible adjustment of constellation density to balance data rate and power amplifier stress
3Reliability
If power back-off is increased to reduce signal distortion, then linearity improves, but out-of-band leakage increases and spectrum efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the modulation parameter A to achieve the right balance between linearity and spectral containment. By carefully selecting the scaling factor for each modulation manner, the system maintains sufficient power back-off to ensure linearity while avoiding excessive back-off that would cause significant out-of-band leakage
