Method for adjusting a transmit power of a multi carrier transmitter and a multi carrier transmitter

Abstract

A method for adjusting a transmit power of a multi carrier transmitter in a mobile communication system includes providing at least two data streams, each data stream to be transmitted on a separate carrier frequency, and determining a transmit signal adaptation metric separately for each of the at least two data streams. The method further includes calculating a combined transmit signal adaptation metric based on the separate transmit signal adaptation metrics, combining the two data streams carried on the two carrier frequencies to an overall transmit signal, and adjusting the transmit power of the overall transmit signal based on the calculated combined transmit signal adaptation metric.
