Optimal utilization of multiple transceivers in a wireless environment

A method, comprising:

• forming, by a system comprising a processor, a wireless data link with a mobile device;
• obtaining, by the system, a multi-path scattering characteristic of the wireless data link based on a metric of a signal received from the mobile device;
• comparing, by the system, the multi-path scattering characteristic with a first condition;
• and
• selecting, by the system, a multiple transceiver communication technique based at least in part in response to an outcome of the comparing indicating that the multi-path scattering characteristic satisfies the first condition.

A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• identifying a scattering factor associated with a wireless data link between a mobile handset and a base station device;
• comparing the scattering factor with a condition defined by a function;
• and
• selecting a multi data stream communication technique for the wireless data link based at least in part on a result of the comparing indicating that the scattering factor satisfies the condition,
• wherein the identifying the scattering factor is a function of information derived from a signal transmitted by a remote one of the mobile handset and the base station device.
