Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for transmission setting selection. In an example aspect, an apparatus includes a wireless interface device with a communication processor and a radio-frequency front-end. The communication processor is configured to provide a signal. The radio-frequency front-end is coupled to the communication processor and configured to accept the signal. The radio-frequency front-end includes an amplifier configured to amplify the signal based on one or more amplifier settings. The wireless interface device is configured to adjust the one or more amplifier settings responsive to an output power being changed with a gain being unchanged.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless interface device configured to:
- activate a first group of multiple settings for a wireless interface device, the first group of multiple settings corresponding to a first output power setting and comprising a gain and one or more first amplifier settings;
- amplify a first signal based on the one or more first amplifier settings and the gain;
- activate a second group of multiple settings for the wireless interface device, the second group of multiple settings corresponding to a second output power setting and comprising the gain and one or more second amplifier settings, the one or more second amplifier settings different from the one or more first amplifier settings, the second output power setting different from the first output power setting;
- and
- amplify a second signal based on the one or more second amplifier settings and the gain.
A method for selecting efficient transmission settings, the method comprising:
- activating a first group of multiple settings for a wireless interface device, the first group of multiple settings corresponding to a first output power setting and comprising a gain and one or more first amplifier settings;
- amplifying a first signal based on the one or more first amplifier settings and the gain;
- activating a second group of multiple settings for the wireless interface device, the second group of multiple settings corresponding to a second output power setting and comprising the gain and one or more second amplifier settings, the one or more second amplifier settings different from the one or more first amplifier settings, the second output power setting different from the first output power setting;
- and
- amplifying a second signal based on the one or more second amplifier settings and the gain.
An apparatus for selecting efficient transmission settings, the apparatus comprising:
- means for activating a first group of multiple settings for a wireless interface device, the first group of multiple settings corresponding to a first output power setting and comprising a gain and one or more first amplifier settings;
- means for amplifying a first signal based on the one or more first amplifier settings and the gain;
- means for activating a second group of multiple settings for the wireless interface device, the second group of multiple settings corresponding to a second output power setting and comprising the gain and one or more second amplifier settings, the one or more second amplifier settings different from the one or more first amplifier settings;
- and
- means for amplifying a second signal based on the one or more second amplifier settings and the gain.
