US 2026/0246503 A1 · CROSS-SEGMENT POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

Abstract

A cross-segment power management system is provided. In an embodiment, the cross-segment power management system can be provided in a wireless communication device to support multiple power amplifiers organized into multiple amplifier segments, such as a pair of amplifier segments provided on a top and a bottom of the wireless communication device. Moreover, the cross-segment power management system includes multiple voltage segments each capable of providing a modulated voltage(s) to any of the amplifier segments. Through the cross-segment power management system, the wireless communication device can be flexibly configured to perform multiple concurrent transmissions via most suitable antennas. As a result, it is possible to mitigate unintended interference (e.g., hand blocking) for better user experience.
