First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining an active phase of an antenna during a transmitting or receiving operation, comprising:
- receiving protocol data of a transmit protocol controlling the data flow between a transmitting device and a receiving device;
evaluating the protocol data with a controller to determine a time interval for the duration of the active phase of the antenna; and
controlling the active phase of the antenna on the basis of the evaluation of the protocol data.

Abstract
The idea on which the present invention is based is that transmitting and receiving data by an antenna or an antenna array may be performed more efficiently by analyzing protocol data of a transmit protocol, which control the data flow between a transmitting and a receiving device, by a controller, and by individually setting transmission times and receiving times on the basis of this analysis, or by specifically selecting a single antenna from an antenna array.
