Rank Based Bluetooth Antenna Switch Diversity Algorithm

Abstract:

A user equipment including an antenna arrangement comprising at least three antennas configured for use with a wireless connection is described. The user equipment performs a method including, for each antenna of the at least three antennas, determining a performance metric associated with a data exchange over the wireless connection, ranking each antenna of the at least three antennas based at least in part on the performance metric and selecting, when a data exchange error is detected, one of a first ranked antenna or a second ranked antenna of the at least three antennas for a next data exchange.
