Abstract
A communication method applied to an communication device comprising M first type antenna following a first communication standard and N second type antennas following a second communication standard, M and N are positive integers. The communication method comprises: (a) measuring usage time of the second type antennas; and (b) controlling a number of the antennas that the communication device use according to the usage time of the second type antennas.
Claims22
A communication method applied to a communication device comprising M first type antenna following a first communication standard and N second type antennas following a second communication standard and being shared antennas which can be shared with another communications device, M and N are positive integers, the communication method comprising:
- (a) measuring usage time of the second type antennas comprising an amount of time the second type antennas are used within a first predetermined time period compared to a total amount of time in the first predetermined time period;
- and
- (b) controlling a number of the antennas that the communication device use according to the usage time of the second type antennas.
