Method and system for minimizing power consumption in a communication system

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for processing signals in a communication system, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform a method comprising:

• delaying a baseband signal based on at least one calibration signal to generate a delayed baseband signal;
• modulating said delayed baseband signal to generate a modulated signal;
• amplifying said modulated signal based on an average signal envelope of said baseband signal to generate an amplified modulated signal;
• wherein said at least one calibration signal is generated based on an amount of intermodulation distortion associated with said amplified modulated signal;
• and
• wherein said average signal envelope is measured by averaging a plurality of I/Q samples of said baseband signal.

A system for processing signals in a communication system, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits that enables delaying a baseband signal based on at least one calibration signal to generate a delayed baseband signal;
• said one or more circuits enables modulating said delayed baseband signal to generate a modulated signal;
• and
• said one or more circuits enables amplifying said modulated signal based on an average signal envelope of said baseband signal to generate an amplified modulated signal;
• wherein said at least one calibration signal is generated based on an amount of intermodulation distortion associated with said amplified modulated signal;
• and
• wherein said average signal envelope is measured by averaging a plurality of I/Q samples of said baseband signal.
