The following describes in detail the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

The method and apparatus for increasing the transmit power of a terminal device according to the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Wherein, the terminal device of the present invention can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, personal digital assistant, wearable device and other hardware devices that can realize communication, and the wearable device can be a smart bracelet, smart watch, smart glasses, etc.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for increasing the transmit power of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes:

Step 101: Obtain a transmit power boost instruction during the communication process of the terminal device, and compare the current transmit power of the terminal device with the calibrated maximum transmit power.

The standard maximum transmit power is set according to the communication protocol. Therefore, different communication protocols have different maximum transmit powers for the same power device. That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, the power can be adjusted according to the communication protocol. The maximum transmit power of the device.

Specifically, in a variety of different application scenarios, in order to improve the communication quality, during the communication process of the terminal device, an instruction for increasing the transmit power may be obtained.

Furthermore, after receiving the transmission power boosting instruction, the current transmission power of the terminal device is compared with the calibrated maximum transmission power, so as to further adjust the power according to the comparison situation.

It should be noted that, as described above, in different application scenarios and different application requirements, it is possible to send transmit power boost commands. Examples are as follows:

First example:

In this example, the signal strength of the network environment of the terminal device is detected, such as the strength of the signal received by the terminal device, for example, the signal strength detected by the satellite and other devices, and the network environment is detected and judged according to the relevant signal detection application program, etc. Signal strength. If it is detected that the signal strength of the network environment is lower than the preset threshold, in order to improve the communication quality and avoid interruption of the call, the terminal device obtains the transmit power increase command.

Second example:

In this example, the uplink and downlink power of the communication between the terminal device and the target terminal is detected, and if the uplink and downlink power is detected to be asymmetric, in order to improve the quality of uplink communication and avoid intermittent calls, the terminal device obtains a transmit power increase instruction.

Step 102, if the current transmit power is equal to the maximum transmit power by comparison, compare the current received signal strength of the terminal device with the strength threshold, and compare the current received signal quality with the quality threshold.

Step 103, if it is compared that the current received signal strength is greater than the strength threshold value, and the current received signal quality is greater than the quality threshold value, then the limit transmit power is calculated according to the redundant power and the maximum transmit power of the power device, and the limit transmit power is used to transmit upstream data.

It can be understood that the maximum transmission power is the maximum transmission power set according to the communication protocol, but in fact, for the power transmission device, there is still a part of the use margin in the maximum transmission power, that is, the transmission device also has a power greater than the maximum transmission power. The invention uses the redundant power value between the maximum transmission power and the hardware limit transmission power to further adjust the transmission power to increase the space for improving the transmission power of the terminal equipment and bring breakthroughs for the improvement of communication quality.

Specifically, if the comparison current transmission power is equal to the maximum transmission power, the current received signal strength of the terminal device is compared with the strength threshold value, and the current received signal quality is compared with the quality threshold value to determine the current signal strength and Whether the quality can be effectively optimized and improved in the case of further improving the transmission power.

At this time, it should be understood that if the current received signal strength of the terminal device is less than or equal to the strength threshold value, or the current received signal quality is less than or equal to the quality threshold value, it indicates that the communication quality is unqualified at this time, even if the transmit power is further increased, Since the quality of the received signal is too poor, the communication quality cannot be effectively optimized and improved. In order to avoid waste of resources, the transmit power of the terminal device is not further increased at this time.

Further, if comparing and learning that the current received signal strength is greater than the strength threshold value, and the current received signal quality is greater than the quality threshold value, then calculate the limit transmit power according to the redundant power and the maximum transmit power of the power device, and use the limit transmit power. Power to transmit uplink data, where the limit transmission power may be less than or equal to the hardware limit transmission power, and the weaker the received signal, the closer the limit transmission power is to the hardware limit transmission power.

Of course, in practical applications, if it is found that the current transmit power is less than the maximum transmit power, the transmit power can be increased according to a preset algorithm to send uplink data, wherein the preset algorithm is set according to the relationship between the transmit power and the received signal In this case, the weaker the received signal, the greater the increased transmit power calculated according to the preset algorithm.

In order for those skilled in the art to have a clearer understanding of the method for increasing the transmit power of the terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention, an example is given below in conjunction with the implementation process of the method in a specific application scenario, and the description is as follows.

Among them, in this example, the terminal device is a mobile phone, M represents the maximum transmit power calibrated by the mobile phone, N represents the device limit transmit power of the relevant power device of the mobile phone, X represents the current received signal strength threshold, and Y represents the current received signal quality Threshold value, P represents the current transmit power. In this example, when calculating the limit transmit power according to the redundant power and the maximum transmit power of the power device, the device's limit transmit power is directly used to send uplink data.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, during the communication process of the mobile phone, if the mobile phone is instructed to increase the transmit power according to the network signal condition (step 201), at this time, the relationship between the transmit power P and M of the mobile phone is judged (step 202), If it is not greater than that, increase the transmit power by one unit according to the preset algorithm to send the uplink data (step 203 ). If it is greater than, then compare whether the current received signal strength is greater than the strength threshold, and whether the current received signal quality is greater than the quality The threshold value is determined to determine whether the current communication signal is qualified (step 204).

Further, if the communication signal is qualified, the uplink data is sent using the limit transmission power (step 205), and if not, the current power is maintained to transmit the data (step 206). Therefore, in the scenario where the uplink and downlink power is asymmetric, but the received signal is still good, change the situation that the communication quality is degraded because the uplink transmit power cannot be increased any more, and transmit through the device's limit transmit power to improve the The uplink communication quality of the mobile phone.

To sum up, the method for increasing the transmit power of a terminal device according to the embodiment of the present invention obtains a transmit power boost instruction during the communication process of the terminal device, and compares the current transmit power of the terminal device with the calibrated maximum transmit power. Knowing that the current transmit power is equal to the maximum transmit power, compare the current received signal strength of the terminal device with the strength threshold, and compare the current received signal quality with the quality threshold, if the comparison shows that the current received signal strength is greater than the strength threshold value, and the current received signal quality is greater than the quality threshold, calculate the limit transmit power according to the redundant power and maximum transmit power of the power device, and use the limit transmit power to send uplink data. In this way, the transmission of uplink data is realized by using the limit transmission power value of the power device of the terminal device, and the uplink communication quality of the terminal device is improved.

In order to realize the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention also proposes an apparatus for increasing the transmit power of a terminal device.

The calculation module 300 is configured to calculate the limit transmit power according to the redundant power and the maximum transmit power of the power device when the current received signal strength is greater than the strength threshold and the current received signal quality is greater than the quality threshold by comparison.

The sending module 400 is configured to send uplink data by using the limit transmission power.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sending module 400 is further configured to increase the transmission power according to a preset algorithm to send uplink data when the comparison module 200 compares and learns that the current transmission power is less than the maximum transmission power.

Wherein, according to different application scenarios, the acquisition module 100 acquires the transmission power boosting instruction in different ways. As a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 4 , on the basis of FIG. 3 , the transmission of the terminal device The power augmentation device also includes a detection module 500 .
