Abstract
This method for receiving a data stream transmitted over several radiofrequency channels each with a different frequency, comprises scanning the bandwidth to identify available radiofrequency channels, determining a quality indicator for each available radiofrequency channel and selecting a channel for receiving the data stream depending upon said quality indicators. The method further comprises determining a refreshing period for the quality indicator of each available channel and weighting every determined refreshing period depending on the value of the quality indicator of the currently received channel.
Claims12
A method for receiving a data stream transmitted over each of a plurality of radiofrequency channels, wherein each has a different frequency, the method comprising:
- scanning the bandwidth to identify at least two of the plurality of radiofrequency channels;
- determining a quality indicator for each of the at least two radiofrequency channels;
- selecting one of the at least two radiofrequency channels to receive the data stream depending upon said quality indicators associated with the at least two radiofrequency channels;
- determining a refreshing period for the quality indicator of each of the at least two radiofrequency channels;
- and
- weighting every determined refreshing period depending on the value of the quality indicator of the selected channel.
A microprocessor comprising a program stored therein that includes instructions to perform a method for receiving a data stream transmitted over each of a plurality of radiofrequency channels, wherein each has a different frequency, the microprocessor-based method comprising:
- scanning the bandwidth to identify at least two of the plurality of radiofrequency channels;
- determining a quality indicator for each of the at least two radiofrequency channels;
- selecting one of the at least two radiofrequency channels to receive the data stream depending upon said quality indicators associated with the at least two radiofrequency channels;
- determining a refreshing period for the quality indicator of each of the at least two radiofrequency channels;
- and
- weighting every determined refreshing period depending on the value of the quality indicator of the selected channel.
A method for receiving a data stream transmitted over each of a plurality of radiofrequency channels, wherein each has a different frequency, the method comprising:
- scanning the bandwidth to identify every one of the plurality of radiofrequency channels that can be received;
- determining a quality indicator for each of the radiofrequency channels that can be received;
- selecting one of the radiofrequency channels that can be received, so as to receive the data stream, depending upon said quality indicators associated with the radiofrequency channels that can be received;
- determining a refreshing period for the quality indicator of each of the radiofrequency channels that can be received;
- and
- weighting every determined refreshing period depending on the value of the quality indicator of the selected channel.
