Abstract
Provided is a reception antenna selecting method of a receiver including a plurality of antennas in a wireless communication system. The reception antenna selecting method aligns amplified frames according to levels of received signals and performs CRC for each of the aligned frames.
Claims13
A method of selecting a reception antenna of a receiver having a plurality of antennas in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of frames via the plurality of antennas;
- amplifying each frame at a predetermined amplification rate based on respective reception angle of the plurality of antennas;
- aligning amplified frames according to strength levels of received signals;
- and
- performing Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for each of the aligned frames.
2 more elements
An apparatus for selecting a reception antenna of a receiver in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of antennas for amplifying a plurality of frames at a predetermined amplification rate based on respective reception angle of the plurality of antennas;
- a correlation value-based antenna aligner for aligning the amplified frames according to levels of received signals;
- and
- a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) checker for performing CRC for each of the aligned frames.
1 more element
An access point comprising:
- a network interface for communicating with at least one wide area network;
- a plurality of antennas for amplifying a plurality of frames from a plurality of client devices over the wireless link;
- a processor for aligning the amplified frames according to strength levels of received signals, for performing CRC for each of the aligned frames, and for determining the reception antenna based on a reception characteristic of a frame that shows correlation values corresponding to the highest strength level.
