Method and apparatus for transfer of signals from multiple antennas down to baseband over a common radio frequency (RF) chain. Antenna selection having greater flexibility and applicability to both uplink and downlink wherein priority is given to the antenna receiving a better quality signal. Measurements are taken during each time slot to determine the weighting to be given to the antenna with the better quality signal. Techniques and apparatus are provided to take measurements over a range of intervals from time slots to single symbols, for example, to select the best signal the techniques described herein may be used individual, and in some cases are combined to receive additional benefits in efficiency.
A method for handling a communication comprised of sequentially transmitted slots of equal length received by at least two antenna assemblies for connection to a device for processing, comprising:
A method for processing a communication comprised of sequentially transmitted slots of equal length received by first and second antenna assemblies comprising:
Apparatus for enhancing signal quality of a communication delivered to a device, said signal having sequentially transmitted slots, comprising
