Abstract
Methods and systems for choosing at least one signal path are disclosed. Aspects of the method may include determining a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of signal paths, modifying the signal quality metric for each of the plurality of signal paths, and selecting at least one signal path based on at least one modified signal quality metric. At least one of the signal paths may be cycled through and the signal quality metric may be biased and/or increased and/or decreased for each of the plurality of signal paths by a fixed amount and/or by a predetermined amount. The signal quality metric may also be dynamically changed for each of the plurality of signal paths.
Claims36
A method for choosing at least one signal path, the method comprising:
- determining a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of signal paths;
- modifying the determined signal quality metric for each of the plurality of signal paths;
- and
- selecting at least one of said plurality of signal paths for receiving a signal, wherein said selecting is based on at least one of the modified signal quality metrics.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for choosing at least one signal path, the at least one code section being executable by a computer for causing the computer to perform steps comprising:
- determining a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of signal paths;
- modifying the determined signal quality metric for each of the plurality of signal paths;
- and
- selecting at least one of said plurality of signal paths for receiving a signal, wherein said selecting is based on at least one of the modified signal quality metrics.
A system for choosing at least one signal path, the system comprising:
- at least one processor that enables determining of a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of signal paths;
- the at least one processor enables modifying of the determined signal quality metric for each of the plurality of signal paths;
- and
- the at least one processor enables selecting of at least one of said plurality of signal paths for receiving a signal, wherein said selecting is based on at least one of the modified signal quality metrics.
