Patent ID: 7151947

Claim:
In a wireless communication system, wherein a base station provides power control information to a mobile station, the mobile station comprising: a controller comprising a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, and a transmitting unit operatively coupled to the controller, the transmitting unit comprising: a variable baseband source operable to generate a baseband signal based on an input signal; a radio frequency component operatively coupled to the variable baseband source, the radio frequency component being operable to generate a radio frequency signal based on the baseband signal; a processing component operatively coupled to the variable baseband source, the processing component being operable to generate a first control signal and a second control signal based on power control information from the base station to control transmission power of the radio frequency signal; a baseband controller operatively coupled to the processing component and the variable baseband source, the baseband controller being operable to adjust the variable baseband source based on the first control signal from the processing component; and a linearization controller operatively coupled to the processing element, the linearization controller being operable to adjust the radio frequency component based on the second control signal from the processing component.
