    Apparatus and method for controlling power for inter-frequency handoff in cdma communication system}
    The present invention relates to a power control apparatus and method of a mobile communication system, and more particularly, to a power control apparatus and method in inter-frequency hard handoff.
    In general, a mobile communication system is generally used to use a code division multiple access (CDMA) method. In the closed loop power control in the reverse link of the CDMA system, the base station measures the signal strength of the pilot signal transmitted from the terminal and compares the signal with a preset closed-loop power control threshold. If the signal strength is smaller than the reference value, a power increase command is made. On the contrary, if the pilot signal strength is larger than the reference value, a power control bit is generated to feed back to the terminal to control the power of the terminal transmitter. By doing so. In general, the closed loop power control reference value is changed by a predetermined step size according to the presence or absence of a frame error after channel decoding.
    When a mobile station and a base station transmit and receive at a frequency, a case arises where the frequency needs to be changed. The process of changing the frequency is called inter-frequency handoff. For example, in the case of the handoff between the frequencies, when the terminal performs handoff by changing the frequency to a base station other than the base station currently being transmitted and received, the system capacity of the current frequency is insufficient or the channel environment of the current frequency is worsened and thus the other frequency. There may be a case in which a handoff is performed and a frequency is changed in order to switch from the present communication technology to another communication technology.
    At this time, the base station sends a message to the terminal to measure the channel state of the other frequency for handoff between frequencies. After receiving the message, the terminal changes the transmit / receive frequency to another frequency within a specific frame, and then measures the strength (Ec) or the received traffic signal-to-interference ratio (Ec / Ior) of the total received traffic signal of the changed frequency and then returns to the original frequency. In this case, a part of the transmission signal transmitted through the current frequency is interrupted for a while due to the frequency change while measuring the channel state of another frequency. This is because the terminal changes the transmission and reception frequency together. To this end, the terminal increases and transmits the transmission power in other parts of the frame by the power corresponding to the energy lost due to the interruption of the previously transmitted signal while measuring the channel state of the other frequency. In the frame section including the section in which the terminal performs channel state measurement of a target frequency for handoff between frequencies, the transmission power is temporarily increased in a section other than the channel state measurement section. The process of power control between the terminal and the terminal is also changed. The power control process can be more clearly understood by the following description. In the following description, a first frequency means a frequency currently being transmitted by a terminal, and a second frequency means a target frequency for handoff between frequencies by the terminal.
    The base station instructs the terminal to measure the channel state of the second frequency, and the terminal measures the channel state of the second frequency while stopping some sections in a specific frame according to the instructions of the base station, I don't know this. That is, if the terminal and the base station do not promise information on the transmission stop start time and interval between each other, and the terminal unilaterally measures the channel state of the second frequency, the base station cannot know exactly about the transmission stop period. In this case, even though there is a transmission interruption period, the base station assumes all received frames as a data signal and receives the signal, and transmits a pure interference signal received during the transmission interruption period to the channel decoder. Therefore, the receiver of the base station decodes the interference signal, which does not contain any desired data, as the traffic data. In this case, the error of the decoded traffic data is greater than the case where the portion corresponding to the interference signal is set to 0, which is an undetermined value. There is a problem that the probability is rather increased. The non-determined value is set to 0 when 0 is +1 and 1 is -1 when it is assumed that binary mapping is performed. In order to prevent this, the base station and the terminal transmit and receive information on the exact starting point and interval (t search [ms]) of the transmission stop section through signaling (hereinafter, the base station and the terminal in the following description) Information about the time at which the transmission is interrupted and the interval length is referred to as inter-frequency hard handoff signaling). By the handoff signaling, the terminal changes from the first frequency to the second frequency and measures the channel state of the second frequency.
    1 is a diagram showing a change in the conventional terminal transmission power. Hereinafter, in the following description, regular power control means that the terminal (base station) increases the transmission power by a preset step size according to a power control command sent by the base station (terminal). The predetermined step size may be +1 or -1 dB, and may have various values such as ± (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0) dB. The power control is performed in units of a power control group, and the length of the power control group and the frame is generally an integer multiple.
    Referring to FIG. 1, the terminal transmits a signal while performing regular power control until time A is reached, and at time A, transmission is stopped to measure a channel state of a second frequency for handoff between frequencies. In consideration of the loss of the transmission signal during t search [ms], the transmission power is increased by Δ search [dB] to start transmission. At this time, the base station does not change the reference value of the strength of the pilot received signal for power control in the frame sections A to D which perform the second frequency search for inter-frequency handoff, regardless of whether the inter-frequency handoff is performed or not. Maintain the reference value. Therefore, when the terminal increases the transmission power at time A, since the pilot received signal strength at the base station is greater than the threshold after time A, the terminal continuously sends a power reduction command to the terminal. If the terminal performs the power reduction command, the transmission power is increased in advance in consideration of the loss of the transmission power during t search [ms]. Accordingly, the terminal ignores the power reduction command of the base station and performs only the power increase command in the frame section in which the channel state measurement of the second frequency is performed. During the time B and time C intervals, the terminal changes the frequency from the first frequency to the second frequency to measure the channel condition of the second frequency, and measures the strength of the traffic signal and the pilot signal received at the second frequency. do. At time C, the frequency is changed from the second frequency to the first frequency and the transmission signal is transmitted at the first frequency while continuing to perform power control that ignores only the power reduction command. At the time D of the frame ends, the terminal reduces the transmission power by Δ search [dB] and then performs regular power control.
    2 is a diagram showing a change in the conventional base station transmit power.
    Referring to FIG. 2, the transmission power of the base station until time A is controlled by the regular power control method. A handoff closed-loop power control reference value (Target Eb / No) is used to determine a power control command after sufficient time before the interruption of the transmission signal occurs to measure the channel state of the second frequency during handoff between frequencies. ) By △ target [dB]. The increase amount Δ target [dB] of the handoff closed loop power control reference value of the terminal may vary depending on the length of the t search [ms] interval and may be obtained by an experimental value. Since the closed loop power control reference value of the terminal is increased, the terminal continues to transmit a power increase command to the base station after time A, and the base station increases the transmission power according to the command. The power increase command may continue until the frequency conversion to the second frequency occurs. The base station returns to the original frequency at time D and continues the transmission which was interrupted using the first frequency, and at time D, the end of the frame, the terminal decreases the closed loop power control reference value by Δ target [dB]. In the power control method of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the terminal is in control of both the reverse link and the forward link when the second frequency channel state is measured for handoff between frequencies, and the transmission power of the terminal is changed or the closed loop power control reference value is determined. According to the change, the transmission power of the base station is automatically controlled.
    On the other hand, the channel state measurement method of the second frequency for the inter-frequency handoff has some problems. In the power control method as shown in FIG. 1, when the terminal falls into deep fading by ignoring the power reduction command among the power control commands transmitted from the base station, the power increase command is performed as a command, but the channel increase is performed. Since the power reduction command is not effective after the improvement, wastes unnecessary power as a whole, and there is a problem of reducing the capacity of the reverse link by increasing the amount of interference on the reverse link by transmitting unnecessary power. . In addition, in the case of Figure 2, the transmission power of the base station has to perform a power increase command for a considerable amount of time to increase the transmission power to the desired degree when the power control step size is small, in which case the transmission frame of the previous frame does not occur In the section, the portion where regular power control is not performed increases.
    Therefore, there is a need for a method that can use the regular power control method without ignoring a power reduction command in power control for inter-frequency handoff, and a method for adjusting the transmit power of a base station as desired within a short time.
    Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for performing regular power control during a frame section including a target frequency measurement section during handoff between frequencies in a mobile communication system.
    Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for controlling a frame transmission power as desired within a short time when handoff between frequencies in a mobile communication system.
    Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for reducing interference due to excessive transmission power by performing regular power control in a frame section including a transmission interruption section during handoff between frequencies in a mobile communication system.
    A base station apparatus of a code division multiple access communication system for achieving the above objects generates a power control command for controlling a transmission power of a terminal by comparing a strength of a signal received from the terminal and a preset power control reference value, and a transmission interruption interval. A power control command generator for generating a power control command by changing the power control reference value, a channel transmitter for generating frame data to be transmitted and including the power control command, and transmission for handoff between frequencies. A power control process for determining a frame transmission power including a stop section, a gain adjuster for adjusting a transmission power of the channel transmitter output signal with the determined transmission power, and modulating and transmitting the gain-adjusted signal at a transmission frequency It is characterized by consisting of the RF transmitter.

    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
    In the inter-frequency handoff power control method according to the present invention, in order to compensate for the loss of the transmission power due to the interruption of transmission in the terminal, the transmission power is increased at the beginning of the frame as much as the power loss of the section in which the transmission is stopped in the frame. At the same time, it changes the closed loop power control reference value of the base station and uses the regular power control method. In the above method, since the regular power control is performed even in a frame in which transmission of the transmission signal is stopped, the capacity reduction of the reverse link due to the increase of the interference signal due to excessive transmission power can be reduced. Also, in order to compensate for the loss of transmission power due to the interruption of transmission at the base station, the transmission power is increased at the beginning of the frame as much as the power loss of the section in which transmission is stopped in the frame. By changing the power control method can be used.
    In order to perform the inter-frequency handoff, the base station and the terminal exchange information on the transmission interruption point and transmission interruption period through handoff signaling between frequencies. The inter-frequency handoff signaling may be requested by the base station to the terminal, and the terminal may acknowledge (ACK) or return (NACK) it. In addition, the terminal may request the base station handoff signaling from the base station, the base station may acknowledge (ACK) or return (NACK) this. In the inter-frequency handoff signaling, the transmission stop time point and the section information may be exchanged between the base station and the terminal as in the following example. For example, after the base station sets the reference time while the base station and the terminal are currently transmitting and receiving, the command to measure the channel state of the second frequency from the sixth power control group of the 15th frame to three power control group times from the reference time point. After the terminal sends an acknowledgment message for this, it executes the command. In the above example, the terminal may set a reference time point, and may exchange information about how many times the channel state measurement of the second frequency is performed. That is, when the channel state is measured by using the inter-frequency handoff signaling, the information may be measured again after a certain time when the measured value is smaller than the reference value. In this case, the second frequency is measured several times at different times, and when the measured value is smaller than the reference value, the channel state of another target frequency can be measured. Hereinafter, the transmission power of the terminal and the base station according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
    3 is a diagram illustrating a transmitter configuration of the present invention. The transmitter structure may be commonly used for a terminal and a base station.
    Referring to FIG. 3, the zero gain regulator 100 adjusts and outputs an input pilot signal. The first to third gain regulators 102 adjust and output the input traffic signal (first traffic signal to third traffic signal). The multiplexer 103 sums and outputs the outputs of the 0th gain regulator 100 to the third gain regulator 103.
    The complex spreader 104 multiplies the output of the multiplexer 103 by the PN code and outputs the spread spectrum. The signal separator 105 divides the output of the complex spreader 104 into a real part and an imaginary part. The first low pass filter 106 may perform low pass filtering on a signal corresponding to the real part output from the signal separator 105. The second low pass filter 109 low-passes and outputs a signal corresponding to the imaginary part output from the signal separator 105.
    The multiplier 107 multiplies the output of the first low pass filter 106 by the gain control signal provided from the transmission gain controller 116. The multiplier 110 multiplies the output of the second low pass filter 109 by the gain control signal provided from the transmission gain controller 116. The transmission gain controller 116 determines the transmission power by using the reception power control command and the output of the power control process, and outputs the gain control signals accordingly to the multipliers 107 and 110. The power control command is divided into a power down command and a power decrease command, and a step size of power increase or power decrease is predetermined according to the power control command. The power control step size may be +1, -1 dB.
    The memory 113 stores types of traffic signals such as voice, text, images, and video, transmission speeds of data, and power gain values corresponding to respective lengths of transmission interruptions. The handoff signaling 115 includes information on the transmission stop point (start point of channel state measurement of the target frequency) and the transmission stop period length for inter-frequency handoff. The power control processor 105 promotes power gain in a frame measuring a channel state of a second frequency for handoff between frequencies. That is, the power control processor 105 refers to the handoff signal 115 to read the corresponding power gain value from the memory 113 and provides it to the transmission gain regulator 116.
    The modulator 108 multiplies the output signal of the multiplier 107 by the carrier signal cos (2 Fct). The modulator 111 multiplies the output signal carrier signal sin (2πfct) of the multiplier 110 and outputs the multiplier. The adder 112 adds the output signal of the modulator 108 and the output signal of the modulator 111 to output the transmission channel.
    Referring to the operation according to the configuration of FIG. 3, the pilot signal is first sent to the multiplexer 103 after adjusting the gain as required by the zero gain controller 100. FIG. On the other hand, the data to be transmitted are subjected to channel coding process and channel interleaving for error correction, and then 0 is +1 and 1 is -1, thereby being binary mapping. The signal is input as a third traffic signal, and the gain is adjusted by the first gain regulator 101 to the third gain regulator 102 and then sent to the multiplexer 103. In the synchronous CDMA method, the pilot signal is a pilot channel, and the first traffic signal to the third traffic signal correspond to the first traffic channel to the third traffic channel. In the synchronous CDMA method, the pilot signal is a pilot symbol, and may be a power control bit, a rate information bit, traffic data, or the like instead of the first to third traffic signals. In the case of the synchronous CDMA, a multi-orthogonal code is multiplied to each channel to distinguish each channel before the zeroth and third gain regulators. It combines the traffic channel ~ the third traffic channel and sends to the multiplier 104. In the case of the asynchronous CDMA, the multiplexer 103 may sequentially arrange pilot symbols, power control bits, rate information bits, data, and the like. Therefore, the present invention can be commonly used regardless of synchronous CDMA and asynchronous CDMA.
    The output of the multiplexer 103 is spread by the complex spreader 104. The signal divider 105 divides the signal into a real part and an imaginary part, and the real part is input to the first low pass filter 106. Is input to the second low pass filter 109. The outputs of the first low pass filter 106 and the second low pass filter 109 are multiplied by the outputs of the transmission gain regulators 116 in the multipliers 107 and 110 to vary the transmission power. The transmit gain regulator 116 uses the power control command and the output of the power control processor 114 to determine the transmit power. The power control command is divided into a power increase command and a power decrease command, and a step size of increasing or decreasing the power according to the power control command is set in advance. The power control step size can be +1, -1 dB. Meanwhile, the power control processor 114 adjusts the power gain in the frame measuring the channel state of the second frequency for handoff between frequencies. The power control processor 114 may use the value of the memory 113 that stores the power-off value obtained by the handoff signaling signal 115 and the experimental data in determining the power gain value. The memory 113 may store power gain values that may be different according to types of traffic signals such as voice, text, images, and video, transmission speeds of data, and length values of sections to which transmission is interrupted. The handoff signaling signal 115 may include information about a start time point and a section of a channel state measurement of a second frequency for handoff between frequencies. The transmission gain output by the transmission gain regulator 116 is determined by adding the step size obtained by the power control command and the power gain value provided by the power control processor 114. The outputs of the multipliers 107 and 110 are modulated by the carrier signals in the multipliers 108 and 111 and then combined in the adder 112 and transmitted over the transport channel.
    In FIG. 1, when the terminal or the base station measures the channel state of the second frequency in a specific frame for handoff between frequencies, the power control processor 114 based on the information about the length of the section in which transmission is stopped in the corresponding frame. It calculates the power loss of the traffic signal being punctured and outputs a compensation gain that compensates for the transmission power. The compensation gain compensates for the transmission power before and after the transmission stops in one frame, and may be set according to Equation 1 below.
    The transmission power interruption point may be the front part, the middle part, or the end part of the frame when viewed in one frame, or may occur over two frames. The transmission stop length may be a preset fixed value or a variable value. However, the maximum length should be limited in consideration of the error probability of the traffic signal.
    4 is a diagram illustrating a change in transmission power of a terminal of the present invention.
    Referring to FIG. 4, the terminal transmits a signal while performing regular power control until time A is reached, and at time A, transmission is stopped to measure a channel state of a second frequency for handoff between frequencies. In consideration of the loss of the transmission signal during t search [ms], the transmission power is increased by Δ search [dB] to start transmission. At this time, the base station increases the closed loop power control reference value (Target Eb / No) for the power control by Δ target [dB] in the frame sections A to D performed for inter-frequency handoff. The increase amount Δ target [dB] of the closed loop power control reference value (Target Eb / No) may vary depending on the length of the t search [ms] section and may be obtained by an experimental value. Therefore, although the transmission power is increased by Δ search [dB] at the beginning of the frame, normal power control is possible because the closed loop power control reference value is increased when the base station generates a power control command. During the time B and time C intervals, the terminal changes the frequency from the first frequency to the second frequency to measure the channel state of the second frequency, and measures the strength of the traffic signal and the pilot signal received at the second frequency. do. At time C, the frequency is changed from the second frequency to the first frequency, and the transmission signal is transmitted at the first frequency while performing regular power control. At the time D of the frame, the UE decreases the transmission power by Δ search [dB], and at the same time, the base station decreases the closed loop power control reference value by Δ target [dB] and continuously performs regular power control.
    5 is a diagram showing a change in transmission power of the base station of the present invention. The base station transmits a signal while performing normal power control until time A is reached, and at time A, t search [ms], which is a period in which transmission is stopped to measure a channel state of a second frequency for handoff between frequencies. In consideration of the loss of the transmission signal, the transmission power is increased by Δ search [dB] to start transmission. In this case, the terminal increases the closed loop power control reference value (Target Eb / No) for power control in the frame sections A to D performing the inter-frequency handoff by Δ target [dB]. Therefore, although the transmission power is increased by Δ search [dB] at the beginning of the frame, the normal power control is possible because the closed loop power control reference value is increased when the terminal generates the power control command. During the time B and time C periods, the base station changes the frequency from the first frequency to the second frequency to measure the channel state of the second frequency, and the intensity Ec or the received traffic of all received traffic signals received at the second frequency. Measure the signal-to-interference ratio (Ec / Ior). At time C, the frequency is changed from the second frequency to the first frequency, and the transmission signal is transmitted at the first frequency while performing regular power control. At the time D of the frame, the base station reduces the transmission power by Δ search [dB], and at the same time, the terminal decreases the closed loop power control reference value (Target Eb / No) by Δ target [dB] and then continues the normal power control. To do it.
    6 is a block diagram for determining a closed loop power control reference value according to the present invention. FIG. 6 may be configured in the terminal and the base station in the same structure. The reference value means a closed loop power control reference value of the base station when the terminal measures the channel state of the second frequency in the reverse link. When the channel state of the second frequency is measured, it means the Peruvian power control reference value of the terminal. For simplicity, the processing of the signal received through the transport channel is briefly illustrated in FIG. 6.
    Referring to FIG. 6, when a frame error presence signal 201 is generated through CRC checking after channel decoding, the first reference value generator 202 determines the type of service and a target frame error probability when a frame error occurs. Increase the closed loop power control reference value. Conversely, if no frame error occurs, it is reduced. The reference value change step size may have a different value according to the type and quality of service such as voice, text, image, and video, and may have a measured value by experiment. The second reference value generator 204 operates according to the presence or absence of the signal of the handoff signaling 203. If the handoff signaling 203 does not exist, the second reference value generator 204 outputs a value of 0 to the adder 206. On the other hand, if the handoff signaling 203 is present, the second reference value generator 204 refers to the inter-frequency handoff information included in the handoff signaling to obtain an increase amount Target [dB] of the closed loop power control reference value from the memory 205. Read and print The memory 205 stores the amount of increase of the closed loop power control reference value according to the traffic type and the length of the transmission stop section of the frame. That is, the increase amount Δ target [dB] of the closed loop power control reference value may vary depending on the length of the t search [ms] section, and may be obtained by an experimental value. The adder 206 adds an increase of the closed loop power control reference value output from the first reference value generator 202 and the closed loop power control reference value output from the second reference value generator 204. The pilot measurement unit 207 measures the reception strength of the pilot signal and outputs the received signal to the comparator 208. The comparator 208 compares the reception strength of the pilot signal with the closed loop power control reference value, and generates a power increase command when the reference value is large, and generates a power decrease command when the reference value is small.
    3 and 6 may be commonly applied to a terminal and a base station, and for convenience of description, FIG. 3 is a terminal and FIG. 6 corresponds to a base station.
    The terminal is transmitted by operating the first in Fig. 3 at the start of the frame which is expected to 2 measures the channel state of the frequency power control processor 114 to the handoff between frequency power as the transmitter of Figure 3 △ search [dB Increase by. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 6, the base station increases the closed loop power control reference value by Δ target [dB] by the operation of the second reference value generator 204. The above two processes can occur simultaneously because the terminal and the base station know the information on the time and the period when the channel state measurement of the second frequency through the handoff signaling. Meanwhile, the terminal operates the power control processor 114 of FIG. 3 at the end of the frame scheduled to measure the channel state of the second frequency for handoff between frequencies, and reduces transmission power by Δ search [dB]. At the same time, the base station reduces the closed loop power control reference value by Δ target [dB] by the operation of the second reference value generator 204 of FIG.
    Similarly, a case in which FIG. 3 is a base station and FIG. 6 corresponds to a terminal will be described. As with the transmitter of FIG. 3, the base station operates the power control processor 114 of FIG. 3 at the beginning of the frame scheduled to measure the channel state of the second frequency for handoff between frequencies, and thus the search power [Delta] [[dB] Increase by. At the same time, the terminal increases the power control reference value by Δ target [dB] by the operation of the second reference value generator 204 of FIG. 6. In addition, the base station operates the power control processor 114 of FIG. 3 at the end of the frame scheduled to measure the channel state of the second frequency for handoff between frequencies, thereby reducing the transmission power by Δ search [dB]. At the same time, the terminal decreases the power control reference value by Δ target [dB] by the operation of the second reference value generator 204 of FIG.
    FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a process of determining the power control reference value in FIG. 6. The process of determining the power control reference value may be commonly applied regardless of the terminal or the base station. In the following description, the operation at the terminal is assumed.
    Referring to FIG. 7, in step 301, if the presence or absence of a frame error is determined through CRC check after channel decoding, the closed loop power control reference value according to the frame error is determined according to the type of service and the probability of a target frame error. Step 301 always operates regardless of the inter-frequency handoff. In step 302, the presence of handoff signaling is checked. If there is no handoff signaling, the handoff closed loop power control reference value, which is the output of step 304, becomes zero. If there is handoff signaling, in step 303, information about the length of a section in which transmission is stopped is determined for measuring the type of traffic and the channel state of the second frequency. This information is included in the handoff signaling and is known to both the terminal and the base station. In step 304, the closed loop power control reference value to be increased is determined using the information in step 303, and the value is transmitted to the adder in step 305. The adder 305 generates the final handoff closed loop power control reference value by adding the closed loop power control reference value due to the frame error and the closed loop power control reference value increased by the handoff. In step 307, when the pilot signal is smaller than the reference value by comparing the handoff closed-loop power control reference value with the strength of the pilot signal transmitted by the base station, a power increase command is generated, and the strength of the pilot signal is greater than the reference value. Generates a power reduction command.
    The power control method of the present invention increases the transmission power of the terminal (base station) by the loss power gain when the frame to measure the second frequency starts, and performs the regular power control by changing the pilot received signal strength reference value of the base station (terminal). That's how. In the above description of the present invention, it is assumed that the second frequency channel state measurement is performed in the middle of one frame, but the power control group in which the channel state measurement is performed may be at the front or the rear of the frame. In addition, the second frequency channel state measurement can be performed over two frames. In this case, the rear part of the frame located in front and the front part of the frame located behind become the transmission stop, so the power loss compensation due to the transmission stop is It performs the remaining parts except the stopped part of the transmission and the remaining parts except the stopped part of the frame located later.
    In addition, in the present invention, it was described that the terminal and the base station exchange information with respect to the start time point and the interval that are stopped due to the measurement of the second frequency channel state by using the inter-frequency handoff signaling. However, the channel state of the second frequency may be measured using a fixed transmission stop time point and a period preset by the terminal and the base station. In this case, if the second frequency channel state measurement is performed during the fixed position and the fixed period in the frame, the handoff signaling information between the terminal and the base station need only exist in which frame a transmission stop occurs.
    As described above, the power control method at the time of handoff between frequencies of the mobile communication system according to the present invention can perform a fast and accurate power control, so that the terminal has a power reduction command in a frame period in which the terminal includes the target frequency measurement section. By ignoring it, it is possible to prevent the transmission power is inevitably consumed, thereby improving the reception waiting time of the terminal. In addition, the present invention has the advantage of reducing the amount of interference of other channels generated due to consumption with the unnecessary transmission power.
