METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OF RECEIVE DIVERSITY IN AN ANTENNA SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for controlling receive diversity of an antenna system of a computer device, the antenna system including two or more antenna elements, the method comprising:
- establishing a session with a remote transmitting system;
determining whether a predetermined criteria detected by the computer device is satisfied within the session, and if so;
activating at least two of the antenna elements for receiving transmissions, enabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing receive diversity on the received transmissions; and
if the predetermined criteria is not satisfied within the session;
activating at least one of the antenna elements, disabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing a default signal processing on the received transmissions.

Abstract
A method for controlling receive diversity of an antenna system of a computer device, the antenna system including two or more antenna elements. The method includes establishing a session with a remote transmitting system and determining whether a predetermined criteria detected by the computer device is satisfied within the session. If the predetermined criteria is satisfied within the session, the method includes activating at least two of the antenna elements for receiving transmissions, enabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing receive diversity on the received transmissions. If the predetermined criteria is not satisfied within the session, the method includes activating at least one of the antenna elements, disabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing a default signal processing on the received transmissions. A mobile communication device may be used to perform the method.

12. A computer device for controlling of receive diversity, comprising:
-
a controller for controlling operation of the computer device; an antenna system including two or more antenna elements and controllable by the controller; a power source for individually activating each of the antenna elements for receiving transmissions; and a signal processor for performing signal processing on the received transmissions including performing of a default signal processing and performing of receive diversity, the controller being configured for establishing a session with a remote transmitting system and determining whether a predetermined criteria is satisfied within the session, and if so;
activating at least two of the antenna elements for receiving transmissions, enabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing receive diversity on the received transmissions, andif the predetermined criteria is not satisfied within the session;
activating at least one of the antenna elements, disabling performance of receive diversity on the received transmissions, and performing a default signal processing on the received transmissions. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method for controlling receive diversity of an antenna system of a computer device, the antenna system including two or more antenna elements, the antenna system being configured for operating in a high power mode of signal processing including activation of at least two of the antenna elements and a low power mode of signal processing including activation of at least one of the antenna elements, the antenna system being defaulted to the low power mode of signal processing, the method comprising:
-
determining whether a predetermined criteria detected by the computer device is satisfied, wherein the predetermined criteria includes determining whether the computer device is connected to an external power supply, and if so;
activating at least two of the antenna elements for receiving transmissions, and enabling performance of the high power mode of signal processing; andif the predetermined criteria is not satisfied;
activating at least one of the antenna elements, and enabling performance of the low power mode of signal processing on the received transmissions. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
