Abstract
A multi-receiver wireless communication device includes a transmitter, a transmit oscillator communicatively coupled to the transmitter, a receive oscillator communicatively coupled to a first receiver and second receiver, and a switching assembly having a first state in which the receive oscillator is coupled to the first and second receivers and a second state in which the receive oscillator is de-coupled from the second receiver and the transmit oscillator is coupled to the second receiver. The first receiver and the second receiver of the wireless communication device are able to operate independent of one another when the switching assembly is in the second state.

13. A method for switching receiver operations in a multi-receiver wireless communication device, the method comprising:
-
determining a transmitter state of a wireless communication device having; a transmitter; a transmit oscillator communicatively coupled to the transmitter; a first receiver; a second receiver; and a receive oscillator communicatively coupled to the first receiver and the second receiver; and decoupling the receive oscillator from the second receiver and coupling the transmit oscillator to the second receiver in response to determining that the transmitter state at least temporarily does not utilize the transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for controlling diversity receivers in a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
-
defining a first data rate threshold value; determining a rate of data being received by a wireless communication device; and switching the first receiver and second receiver from a diversity mode to an independent-receiver operating mode in response to the rate of received data being less than the first data rate threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
