Abstract
A method, performed in a communication device having multiple transmitters, for selectively transmitting data using spatial diversity, includes determining a type of data to be transmitted, determining whether the type of data meets a data type criteria, which comprises determining whether the data includes priority data, and transmitting the data using spatial diversity when the type of data meets the data type criteria.
Claims20
A method, performed in a communication device having multiple transmitters, for selectively transmitting data using spatial diversity, the method comprising:
- determining a type of data to be transmitted;
- determining whether the type of data meets a data type criteria, which comprises determining whether the data includes priority data;
- and
- transmitting the data using spatial diversity when the type of data meets the data type criteria.
An electronic device that selectively transmits data using spatial diversity, the electronic device comprising:
- at least two transmitters;
- a controller coupled to the at least two transmitters, wherein the controller is configured to:
- determine a type of data to be transmitted;
- determine that the type of data is priority data, and, responsively, control the at least two transmitters to transmit the priority data using spatial diversity.
A computer-readable storage element having computer readable code stored thereon for programming a computer to perform a method for selectively transmitting data using spatial diversity, the method comprising:
- determining whether to transmit the data using spatial diversity based on whether the data includes priority data;
- and
- transmitting the data using spatial diversity when the data includes priority data.
