Abstract
A communication apparatus is provided. A power amplifier is coupled to an antenna and switched on or off according to a control signal. A baseband processing module is coupled to the power amplifier and a radio transceiver module, receives a bit stream comprising information indicating corresponding transmitting time and sub-carrier frequencies of up-link messages via the radio transceiver module, processes the bit stream to obtain a map profiling allocations of the up-link messages, prepares the up-link messages to be transmitted according to the map, and generates the control signal according to the map. Within a data frame period, when there is no up-link message to be transmitted during a up-link time interval, the power amplifier is switched off in response to the control signal during the up-link time interval.
