Apparatus and method for selecting modulation and filter roll-off to meet power and bandwidth requirements
First Claim
1. For use in a wireless network configured for communication with a plurality of subscriber stations according to a multi-carrier protocol, a base station operable to receive an uplink signal transmitted by a subscriber station, the subscriber station configured to transmit in the uplink using a configurable spectral shaping filter and using a plurality of selectable modulation orders, wherein the base station is configured to:
- determine a required power efficiency associated with the subscriber station; and
select a modulation order and a filter parameter to be used by the subscriber station to transmit in the uplink, the modulation order and the filter parameter selected to maximize a bandwidth efficiency of the subscriber station while maintaining the required power efficiency.

Abstract
A base station for use in a wireless network that communicates according to a multi-carrier protocol. The base station receives an uplink signal transmitted by a first subscriber station. The first subscriber station transmits using a configurable spectral shaping filter and a selectable modulation order. The base station determines a required bandwidth efficiency associated with the first subscriber station and, in response to the determination, selects a first modulation order and a first filter parameter to be used by the first subscriber station. Advantageously, the base station selects the first modulation order and the first filter parameter in order to maximize a power efficiency of the first subscriber station while maintaining the required bandwidth efficiency.
