10. A method for improving throughput in a wireless local area (WLAN), the WLAN comprising a plurality of mobile station having diversity receivers and a set of messages, a method comprising the steps of:
-
replicating a first signal path and a second signal path in the diversity receivers;
determining an energy level of the first signal path and the second signal path; and
choosing the best path based on the energy level to recover the set of messages. - View Dependent Claims (11)
