HYBRID-ANTENNA MODE OF AN APPARATUS CONFIGURED FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication by an apparatus, the method comprising:
- while the apparatus is operating in a first mode, receiving a transmission from a serving cell utilizing a single antenna; and
while the apparatus is operating in a second mode, measuring a signal quality of a neighbor cell utilizing at least one of two or more antennas and concurrently receiving the transmission from the serving cell utilizing at least another one of the two or more antennas.

Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus configured to receive a transmission from a serving cell utilizing a single antenna while the apparatus is operating in a first mode. While the apparatus is operating in a second mode, the apparatus may be configured to measure a signal quality of a neighbor cell utilizing at least one of two or more antennas and use receive diversity (RxD) to receive the transmission from the serving cell utilizing the two or more antennas. While the apparatus is operating in a third mode, the apparatus may be further configured to use only RxD to receive the transmission from the serving cell utilizing the two or more antennas. The first mode may be a single-antenna mode. The second mode may be a hybrid-antenna mode. The third mode may be an RxD-only mode.
