Abstract
Systems for supporting multi-channel dynamically controlled diversity reception in wireless communications include a plurality M of receivers coupled to M antennas and configured handle N communication channels wherein N≦M≦(2*N−1) and N channel state machines configured to dynamically allocate multiple channels of the N channels to the M receivers to support dynamic switched diversity for multi-channel dynamically controlled reception. Each channel state machine is configured to control the operation of each receiver. Arbitration is performed between channel state machines when such channel state machines work concurrently. In some embodiments, a lock state machine inside each channel state machine accelerates the locking time of a receiver based on at least one parameter received from another receiver.

9. A method for wireless communication, comprising steps of:
-
a) providing a plurality M of receivers coupled to M antennas and configured to handle N≧
2 communication channels, wherein N≦
M≦
(2N−
1); andb) dynamically allocating the N channels to the M receivers while considering channel priority, thereby supporting dynamic switched diversity for multi-channel dynamically controlled reception, wherein the step of dynamically allocating includes configuring N channel state machines to perform the dynamic allocation of multiple channels to receivers and wherein the configuring N channel state machines to perform the dynamic allocation of multiple channels to receivers includes accelerating a locking time of one receiver based on at least one parameter received from another receiver. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
