The communication device includes a power amplifying unit and a control unit. The power amplifying unit generates an output signal obtained by amplifying a downlink signal, using a supply voltage, and outputs the output signal. The control unit determines a current state by comparing predetermined downlink reference information with output signal information on the output signal, and, if the current state is an active state as a comparison result, controls the supply voltage to correspond to the output signal information. Accordingly, power for amplifying a signal can be controlled according to communication traffic, thereby preventing consumption of unnecessary power. | 2016-10-06 |
20160295528 | IMPROVED RECEIVER OVERLOAD PROTECTION - A method in a fixed point-to-point radio link transceiver. The method comprising the steps of receiving a first signal from a far end transceiver, and detecting receiver overload due to excess power in the received first signal, and also transmitting a second signal to the far end transceiver. The step of transmitting comprising including, in the second signal, a request to reduce transmission power in the far end transceiver when receiver overload is detected. | 2016-10-06 |
