Abstract

See full text

A method of evaluating a reception quality of a receiver includes determining a reception quality of the receiver using a measurement from a single active antenna of the receiver if the receiver is in the idle mode. The method further includes activating receiver diversity by activating at least a second antenna of the receiver in the idle mode if the measurement from the single active antenna of the receiver is below a first predetermined reception quality threshold. A receiver includes receiver chains configured to interface with respective antennas, and a reception quality estimation unit configured to determine a reception quality of a single active receive chain when the receive is in an idle mode. The receiver further includes a diversity controller configured to selectively activate at least a second receive chain in the idle mode based on the determined reception quality from the reception quality estimation unit.
