Abstract
A method and a device are provided for controlling operation of a wireless device (200). The method (500) includes transmitting an initial signal (410) to a controller device (120) in an initial mode (505); receiving initial instructions (420) from the controller device in the initial mode, after transmitting the initial signal (510), the initial instructions identifying an operational mode; setting transmit and receive circuitry in the wireless device to transmit and receive according to the operational mode (515, 520, 525); and transmitting operational signals (430) in the operational mode (530). The wireless device 200 includes an antenna controller (290) and an antenna switch (225) for implementing this method.
Claims2
A method for controlling the operation of the wireless device, including:
- receiving an initial incoming signal from a remote device in a first operational mode;
- determining a current level of network congestion of the initial incoming signal;
- determining that a second operational mode will be a first possible mode if the current level of network congestion of the initial incoming signal is within a first range;
- determining that the second operational mode will be a second possible mode if the current level of network congestion is within a second range;
- transmitting instructions to the remote device in the first operational mode to transmit and receive in the second operational mode
- receiving an operational incoming signal from a remote device in the second operational mode after transmitting the instructions to the remote device;
- determining a current level of network congestion of the operational incoming signal;
- determining that a third operational mode will be the first possible mode if the current level of network congestion of the operational incoming signal is within the first range;
- determining that the third operational mode will be the second possible mode if the current level of network congestion of the operational incoming signal is within the second range;
- and
- transmitting instructions to the remote device in the second operational mode to transmit and receive in the third operational mode.
