Abstract
The invention relates to a network component and to a method for transmitting a signal between a terminal and a network component, the method comprising the steps of: determining a quality measure of a communication link between the terminal and the network component, comparing the quality measure with a threshold quality level, selecting transmit diversity off, if the quality measure is above the threshold quality level, and selecting transmit diversity on, if the quality measure is below the threshold quality level.
Claims12
A method for transmitting a signal between a terminal and a network component, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a quality measure of a communication link between the terminal and the network component,
- comparing the quality measure with a threshold quality level,
- selecting transmit diversity off, if the quality measure is above the threshold quality level, and selecting transmit diversity on, if the quality measure is below the threshold quality level.
A network component of a communication network comprising:
- means for determining a quality measure of a communication link between the terminal and the network component,
- means for comparing the quality measure with a threshold quality level,
- means for selecting transmit diversity off, if the quality measure is above the threshold quality level, and selecting transmit diversity on, if the quality measure is below the threshold quality level.
A cellular mobile communications system comprising at least one terminal and a network component for each of the cells, the network component comprising:
- means for determining a quality measure of a communication link between the terminal and the network component,
- means for comparing the quality measure with a threshold quality level,
- means for selecting transmit diversity off, if the quality measure is above the threshold quality level, and selecting transmit diversity on, if the quality measure is below the threshold quality level.
