Detailed Description
Prior to introducing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a description will be given of related technology.
In the related art, with the rapid development of the wireless communication market, especially the burst of data service in recent years, the requirements on the coverage and capacity of the network are higher and higher. For this reason, operators invest huge amounts of resources and deploy a large number of wireless networks of various systems, and in this case, the total power consumption of the networks is higher and higher, and the energy-saving capability of the base station becomes particularly important. The related art only relates to schemes such as time slot turn-off, carrier turn-off, channel turn-off, dormancy, complete machine turn-off and the like, but does not relate to a technical scheme how to minimize the power consumption of the power amplifier. At present, many power saving schemes realize saving of power consumption from different degrees, because the bandwidth of a communication system is wider and wider, and the ideal envelope tracking technology is up to 200M at present, because of the limitation of device response capability, the lowest power consumption of a power amplifier cannot be realized, and fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the ideal envelope tracking technology in the related technology. In the related art, when the bandwidth of the radio frame signal input to the power amplifier is 90M, the period of the radio frame signal in a minimum scheduling time unit is less than 8ns, and the response capability of the power supply of the power amplifier is controlled at the us level, the two cannot be synchronized, so that the lowest power consumption of the power amplifier cannot be realized in the broadband communication system.
In general, a signal processing unit for performing signal processing on a scheduled radio frame signal and a power amplifier for amplifying the radio frame signal subjected to signal processing may be provided in the base station apparatus, and the amplified radio frame signal is to be used for transmission to a terminal. At present, as the bandwidth of the radio frame signal is larger and larger, the power consumption of the base station equipment is larger and larger, so that the energy-saving effect of the base station equipment is poorer and worse.
Based on the above, the embodiment of the invention provides a power amplifier control circuit, which comprises a calculation circuit, a generation circuit and a control circuit, wherein the calculation circuit is used for obtaining a plurality of wireless frame signals corresponding to a minimum scheduling time unit, the generation circuit is used for generating a power supply control signal based on the calculated first parameter values and/or the calculated second parameter values, and the control circuit is used for controlling the power supply voltage of a power amplifier by utilizing the power supply control signal so as to enable the power consumption of the power amplifier to be the lowest when the plurality of wireless frame signals are input.

Here, the minimum scheduling time unit may refer to a minimum time unit that the base station apparatus schedules to the terminal, and may specifically be one slot, or may refer to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM, orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)) symbol. The first parameter value of the radio frame signal may refer to a mean value of voltages of the radio frame signal in the minimum schedule time unit, the second parameter value may refer to a peak value of voltages of the radio frame signal in the minimum schedule time unit, or the first parameter value of the radio frame signal may refer to a mean value of powers of the radio frame signal in the minimum schedule time unit, and the second parameter value may refer to a peak value of powers of the radio frame signal in the minimum schedule time unit.
Here, considering that the bandwidth of the radio frame signal is larger and larger, that is, the period of the minimum schedule time unit is smaller, in this case, if the power supply period of the power amplifier is larger than the period of the minimum schedule time unit, the power amplifier may transmit at maximum power at each minimum schedule time unit, resulting in an increase in power consumption. Therefore, the average value and/or peak value of the voltage (or power) of the wireless frame signal in each minimum scheduling time unit can be calculated, and the grid power supply voltage and the drain power supply voltage input by the power amplifier in each minimum scheduling time unit are adjusted based on the calculated average value and/or peak value of the voltage (or power), so that the power amplifier is ensured to output the transmitting power matched with the wireless frame signal in each minimum scheduling time unit, the transmitting with the maximum power is avoided, and the power consumption of the power amplifier can be saved.
In practical application, the grid power supply voltage and the drain power supply voltage input by the power amplifier in each minimum scheduling time unit can be adjusted based on the average value and/or the peak value of the voltage of the wireless frame signal in each minimum scheduling time unit, and the grid power supply voltage and the drain power supply voltage input by the power amplifier in each minimum scheduling time unit can also be adjusted based on the average value and/or the peak value of the power of the wireless frame signal in each minimum scheduling time unit.

In practical application, the power amplifier can amplify the input wireless frame signal under the condition that the grid electrode and the drain electrode supply power simultaneously to obtain output power, and in order to enable the power consumption generated by the power amplifier in the output power to be lower, a power supply control signal for controlling the grid electrode and the drain electrode to supply power can be generated according to each wireless frame signal corresponding to the minimum scheduling time unit, and the time of the power supply control signal and the wireless frame signal corresponding to each minimum scheduling time unit are kept to realize time synchronization, so that the power consumption generated by the power amplifier in the period corresponding to each minimum scheduling time unit is the lowest.

Here, when the base station device operates in the existing network, the network load changes in real time with the service demand, so the maximum output power of the base station device is generally determined according to the full load demand. The output power of the base station device is generated by a power amplifier, and the power amplifier has a characteristic that the working efficiency is the highest at the maximum output power, and the efficiency is reduced along with the reduction of the output power. For example, when the power amplifier is fully loaded and outputs power=200w, efficiency=40% and power consumption=500w, and when the power amplifier outputs power=90w, efficiency becomes 38% and power consumption=263W, it can be seen that the power amplifier outputs power which is reduced by half and the power consumed by the power amplifier is not reduced by half, but when the output power is further reduced, efficiency is further reduced.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a correspondence relationship between efficiency and supply voltage of a power amplifier, and as shown in fig. 3, when the gate supply voltage and the drain supply voltage of the power amplifier are adjusted, the power amplifier can be guaranteed to be at an optimal efficiency, so that power consumption is reduced. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of output power of the power amplifier, and as shown in fig. 4, after the gate supply voltage and the drain supply voltage of the power amplifier are controlled by using a supply control signal that is time-synchronized with the radio frame signal, it is ensured that the transmit power of the power amplifier in each schedule time unit corresponds to the minimum power consumption.
In practical application, if the time of the wireless frame signal corresponding to each minimum schedule time unit reaching the power amplifier is earlier than the time of the power supply control signal applying the power supply voltage of the power amplifier, the wireless will adjust the gate power supply voltage and the drain power supply voltage of the power amplifier in the period corresponding to each minimum schedule time unit, so that the start time of the power supply control signal and the start time of the wireless frame signal in each minimum schedule time unit need to be controlled to achieve synchronization.
Based on this, in an embodiment, the time adjustment circuit is specifically configured to:
acquiring a frame synchronization signal;
when the frame synchronization signal is utilized to determine that the starting time of the power supply control signal is larger than the starting time of the wireless frame signal, calculating a first time difference between the starting time of the wireless frame signal and the starting time of the power supply control signal;
and adjusting the starting time of the power supply control signal by utilizing the first time difference so as to control the power supply control signal and the wireless frame signal to realize time synchronization.
In practical application, if the time of the wireless frame signal corresponding to each minimum schedule time unit reaching the power amplifier is later than the time of the power supply control signal applying the power supply voltage of the power amplifier, the wireless will adjust the gate power supply voltage and the drain power supply voltage of the power amplifier in the period corresponding to each minimum schedule time unit, so that the start time of the wireless frame signal and the start time of the power supply control signal in each minimum schedule time unit need to be controlled to achieve synchronization.
Based on this, in an embodiment, the circuit further comprises:

The implementation principle of each module is described in detail below.
The implementation principle of the baseband signal processing module is specifically as follows:
And generating a radio frame signal corresponding to the minimum scheduling time unit, and transmitting the generated radio frame signal to the DUC/CRF module.
The implementation principle of the DUC/CRF module is as follows:
And receiving a wireless frame signal corresponding to the minimum scheduling time unit transmitted by the baseband signal processing module, performing DUC/CRF processing on the wireless frame signal, and transmitting the wireless frame signal subjected to DUC/CRF processing to the voltage and power calculation module. The DUC process may refer to up-converting the radio frame signal.
The implementation principle of the voltage and power calculation module is as follows:
And receiving the wireless frame signals transmitted by the voltage and power calculation module, and calculating the average value and/or the peak value of the voltage (or power) of the wireless frame signals in the minimum scheduling time unit.
Specifically, taking a radio frame signal as an example of a 5G mobile communication signal, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a radio frame signal corresponding to a minimum scheduled time unit, as shown in fig. 6, considering that the 5G mobile communication signal has different frame structures, each frame structure may be formed by symbols, each symbol has a length of 71.4us, when traffic is scheduled, the minimum scheduled time unit may also be a symbol, and the occupation condition of a frequency domain in each symbol is determined, so that energy to be transmitted is consistent, that is, after a minimum scheduled time unit is determined, the radio frame signal is relatively stable in the minimum scheduled time unit, so that the voltage and power calculation module calculates an average value and/or peak value (1/900) of a voltage (or power) of the radio frame signal in the minimum scheduled time unit.
When the occupancy rate of a Resource Block (RB) is different, the occupancy position of the RB is different, the number of streams is different, and the modulation scheme is different, the average value and/or the peak value of the radio frame signal voltage (or power) corresponding to the minimum scheduling time unit are affected. Considering that the frequency of the power supply control signal of the modulated power supply in the related art is far less than ns level and cannot be matched with the period of the input wireless frame signal, in the embodiment of the invention, a signal voltage and power calculation module is added.
The implementation principle of the control signal generation module is specifically as follows:
The power supply control signal is generated according to the average value and/or the peak value of the voltage calculated by the voltage and power calculation module and the period of the minimum scheduling time unit, or the power supply control signal is generated according to the average value and/or the peak value of the power calculated by the voltage and power calculation module and the period of the minimum scheduling time unit.
In particular, the amplitude of the supply control signal is determined by the mean and/or peak value of the voltage or by the mean and/or peak value of the power, and the period of variation of the supply control signal is determined by the period of the minimum schedule time unit. The amplitude may be determined by using a lookup table, and is specifically determined by one or more of a mean value, a peak value, or a mean value and a peak value of the power. The lookup table may store the correspondence of three information, i.e. input information (one or more of average value of power, peak value or average value of voltage, peak value), control signal (set for modulating power supply) and three-stage debugging of the power amplifier.
The implementation principle of the time adjustment module is specifically as follows:
And if the time of the wireless frame signal corresponding to each minimum scheduling time unit reaching the power amplifier is earlier than the time of the power supply control signal applying the power supply voltage of the power amplifier, the time of the power supply control signal is matched with the time of the wireless frame signal based on the frame synchronization signal, as shown in figure 7.
Here, when the time of the power supply control signal and the time of the radio frame signal are matched in each minimum scheduling time unit, the operating state of the power amplifier may be adjusted so as to minimize the power consumption generated by the power amplifier in the period corresponding to each minimum scheduling time unit.
The implementation principle of the cache module is as follows:
and if the time of the wireless frame signal corresponding to each minimum scheduling time unit reaching the power amplifier is later than the time of the power supply control signal applying the power supply voltage of the power amplifier, the time of the wireless frame signal is matched with the time of the power supply control signal based on the frame synchronization signal.
Here, a buffer module is added to the original normal data path, and because the voltage and power calculation module needs time, the module mainly realizes the alignment of the control signal and the data stream signal in time.
The implementation principle of the modulation power supply is as follows:
The modulation power supply is divided into two groups, one group is a power supply for supplying power to the grid voltage, the power consumption is lower, and the modulation power supply is a common DAC. The other group is a power supply for supplying power to the drain electrode, namely a fast voltage regulation power supply, the regulation speed is not lower than the minimum dispatching period of the signal, the response speed is far lower than the minimum dispatching period of the signal, and the power supply is a common DC-DC module, and the regulation period is required to be smaller than 14K (71 us) by taking the bandwidth of a mobile communication 90M signal as an example, and the response speed is preferably about 1 us.
Implementation principle of DPD processing module:
the period of DPD processing is smaller than the period of the minimum scheduling time unit, so that the DPD correction data can be ensured to be updated in a rapid iteration mode, and the state of the power amplifier can be tracked rapidly. For example, each link corresponds to a DPD processing module, for 90M signals, with a 491.52MHz rate, 20.34us is needed to collect 9000 points, and the DPD calculation time is not greater than 20.34us.
