First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- at a wireless terminal apparatus operating in a predetermined frequency band in a multi-carrier system, assigning a transmit signal to a first set of one or more sub-carriers;
at the wireless terminal apparatus, transmitting the transmit signal at varying transmit power levels; and
at the wireless terminal apparatus, reassigning the transmit signal from the first set of sub-carriers to a second set of one or more sub-carriers if the terminal operates close to a frequency band edge such that there is a lack of sufficient guard band at the frequency band edge, wherein the second set of sub-carriers is further away from the frequency band edge than the first set of sub-carriers such that there is a sufficient guard band at the frequency band edge with respect to the second set of sub-carriers.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for optimizing up-link transmit powers of a wireless broadband terminal operating in a predetermined frequency band in a multi-carrier system, the method comprising assigning a transmit signal to one or more sub-carriers of predetermined frequencies, and capping the output powers of the transmit signal to a predetermined level based on the predetermined frequencies, wherein the output power of the transmit signal is lower if frequencies of the transmit signal have less guard band to the edge of the predetermined frequency band.

8. A method comprising:
-
at a base transceiver station apparatus in a multi-carrier system, receiving a transmit signal from a wireless terminal apparatus, wherein the transmit signal has varying power levels and comprises a first set of one or more sub-carriers in a predetermined frequency band; and at the base transceiver station, reassigning the transmit signal to be transmitted by the wireless terminal apparatus from the first set of sub-carriers to a second-set of one or more sub-carriers if the transmit signal is close to a frequency band edge such that there is a lack of sufficient guard band at the frequency band edge, wherein the second set of sub-carriers is further away from the frequency band edge than the first set of sub-carriers such that there is a sufficient guard band at the frequency band edge with respect to the second set of sub-carriers. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
at a wireless terminal apparatus operating in a predetermined frequency band in a multi-carrier system, assigning a transmit signal to a first set of one or more sub-carriers; at the wireless terminal apparatus, transmitting the transmit signal at varying transmit power levels; at the wireless terminal apparatus, modulating the transmit signal on the first set of sub-carriers with a signal peak-to-mean ratio smaller than that for a second set of sub-carriers, the first set being closer to a frequency band edge of the predetermined frequency band than the second set of sub-carriers; and at the wireless terminal apparatus, lowering the transmit power levels if the transmit signal is close to the frequency band edge such that there is a lack of sufficient guard band at the frequency band edge. - View Dependent Claims (16)
