Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are related to power amplifier power level compensation in a pre-distortion system. A method may include applying digital pre-distortion (DPD) of a power amplifier at a frequency channel, a fixed input power value, and a fixed temperature. The method may also include determining an optimal input power value for the power amplifier in response to a change in at least one of frequency and temperature.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is disclosed, in which a wearable device may determine whether a network operator provides support for bursty communication, and communicate directly through the network operator in the bursty communication in response to the determining the network operator provides the support for bursty communication. The support for bursty communication by the network operator may be either integrated into a telephony application server (TAS) or a wearable application server (WAS) that is a separate entity from the TAS and deployed between the TAS and the wearable device. The bursty communication by the wearable device may include receiving packets in the bursty communication, buffering the received packets, and transmitting or playing out the bursty communication in entirety after all of the packets in the bursty communication have been received. Apparatus corresponding to such method is also disclosed.
