Abstract
A method for adaptively disabling receiver diversity is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device determining an active data traffic pattern; defining a threshold channel quality metric based at least in part on a threshold channel quality needed to support a threshold quality of service for the active data traffic pattern; comparing a measured channel quality to the threshold channel quality metric; and disabling receiver diversity in an instance in which the measured channel quality metric satisfies the threshold channel quality metric.
Claims20
A method to configure receiver diversity for a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- by an apparatus of the wireless communication device:
- comparing a channel quality measurement to a channel quality metric threshold;
- comparing an application layer measurement to an application layer measurement threshold;
- and
- enabling receiver diversity when the channel quality measurement satisfies the channel quality metric threshold and the application layer measurement fails to satisfy the application layer measurement threshold.
An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configurable to cause a wireless communication device to:
- compare a channel quality measurement to a channel quality metric threshold;
- compare an application layer measurement to an application layer measurement threshold;
- and
- enable receiver diversity when the channel quality measurement satisfies the channel quality metric threshold and the application layer measurement fails to satisfy the application layer measurement threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a wireless communication device, cause the wireless communication device to:
- compare a channel quality measurement to a channel quality metric threshold;
- compare an application layer measurement to an application layer measurement threshold;
- and
- enable receiver diversity when the channel quality measurement satisfies the channel quality metric threshold and the application layer measurement fails to satisfy the application layer measurement threshold.
