Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although these advanced techniques meet the goal of providing higher throughput for modern data-intensive applications, even on mobile networks, the use of such techniques can significantly increase the power consumption of wireless communication devices, thereby reducing battery life
As such, receiver diversity techniques utilize multiple receiver chains to support features like MIMO, which results in increased power consumption
Since receiver diversity techniques implemented in modern RATs are usually always used by default, even if the characteristics of device usage at a given point in time do not require the higher throughput that can be provided by using receiver diversity techniques, the cost Device usage time may also be significantly reduced in between and may negatively impact user experience

Abstract

A method for adaptively disabling receiver diversity is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device determining an active data traffic pattern; defining a threshold channel quality metric based at least in part on a threshold channel quality needed to support a threshold quality of service for the active data traffic pattern; comparing a measured channel quality to the threshold channel quality metric; and disabling receiver diversity in an instance in which the measured channel quality metric satisfies the threshold channel quality metric.

Description

technical field [0001] The described embodiments relate generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to adaptive use of receiver diversity. Background technique [0002] Radio Access Technologies (RATs) are constantly evolving in an effort to provide higher throughput for data transmitted over wireless networks. For example, some modern RATs such as Long Term Evolution cellular RATs are designed to provide high throughput to end-user applications by using advanced physical layer techniques such as receiver diversity techniques including multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), Adaptive Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) technology and Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) technology. [0003] While these advanced techniques meet the goal of delivering higher throughput for modern data-intensive applications, even on mobile networks, their use can significantly increase the power consumption of wireless communication devices, reducing battery life. In this reg...
