WAKE-UP METHOD FOR A MULTI-CHANNEL RECEIVER AND MULTI-CHANNEL WAKE-UP RECEIVER
First Claim
1. A wake-up method for a multi-channel receiver comprising the steps of:
- checking for activity on every available channel by switching from one channel to the next thereby activating and subsequently deactivating one channel after the other;
when activity is detected at least on one of the available channels, switching on all channels, measuring a respective received signal strength in every channel and performing a comparison of received signal strengths between all channels; and
selecting the channel with the highest received signal strength.

5. A multi-channel wake-up receiver with several channels, each channel comprising:
-
an activity detector with an input to be supplied with a carrier signal and an output to provide an activity signal; a signal strength measurement unit coupled to the output of the activity detector with an output to provide a received signal strength indication signal; and a comparison unit coupled to the output of each signal strength measurement unit having an output to provide a selection of the channel with the highest received signal strength. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
