METHOD FOR SELECTING RECEIVER MODE OF MOBILE TERMINAL WITH TWO RECEIVERS
First Claim
1. A method for selecting a receiver mode of a wireless communication terminal having at least two receivers, the method comprising:
- computing at least one parameter for determining the receiver mode from a received signal;
comparing the at least one parameter with a preset threshold; and
selecting only one of a single receiver mode in which either of the two receivers is activated or a dual receiver mode in which both of the receivers are activated according to the comparison result.

Abstract
Provided is a method for selecting a receiver mode of a mobile terminal having two receivers and that can receive a signal using either or both of the two receivers depending on a channel environment. A method for selecting a receiver mode of a wireless communication terminal having at least two receivers includes computing at least one parameter for determining the receiver mode from a received signal; comparing the at least one parameter with a preset threshold; and selecting one only of a single receiver mode in which either of the two receivers is activated and a dual receiver mode in which both of the receivers are activated according to the comparison result. The method enables a receiver mode to switch between single and dual receiver modes adaptively according to a wireless environment, thus achieving stable signal reception without compromising reception sensitivity.

3. A method for selecting a receiver mode of a wireless communication terminal having two receivers and that is capable of receiving a signal using either or both of the two receivers depending on a channel environment, the method comprising:
-
computing a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio (CINR), and a Bit Error Rate (BER) from a received signal; determining whether the RSSI is greater than or equal to a first RSSI threshold; activating, if the RSSI is less than the first RSSI threshold, both of the receivers; determining, if the RSSI is greater than or equal to the first RSSI threshold, whether the RSSI is greater than or equal to a second RSSI threshold; and activating, if the RSSI is greater than or equal to the second RSSI threshold, only one of the two receivers. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
