Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A method, comprising:
monitoring one or more parameters for a first data radio communicatively coupled to a first antenna, wherein the first data radio is configured to transmit and receive datalink communications only via the first antenna;
monitoring one or more parameters for a second data radio communicatively coupled to a second antenna, wherein the second data radio is configured to transmit and receive datalink communications only via the second antenna, wherein the first data radio and the second data radio are tuned to the same frequency for data communications, wherein the first data radio and the second data radio are configured to receive uplink data communications at the same time, wherein only one of the first data radio and the second data radio is used at a time for primary data communications to transmit downlink data communications;
comparing the one or more parameters for the first data radio and the one or more parameters for the second data radio;
determining whether the first data radio or the second data radio has better current performance based on the comparison of the one or more parameters for the first data radio and the one or more parameters for the second data radio; and
switching from the first data radio to the second data radio for primary data communications in response to a determination that the second data radio has better current performance.
