Abstract:
1. A method of adapting antenna receive diversity in a mobile wireless device in communication with a wireless network, the method comprising: during a discontinuous reception cycle in the mobile wireless device, decoding at least one page indicator received on a page indicator channel through an initial antenna when a measured downlink signal quality exceeds a pre-determined threshold; decoding one or more page messages received on a paging channel through the initial antenna without decoding the page indicator channel when the measured downlink signal quality does not exceed the pre-determined threshold; where the paging channel and the page indicator channel are separate; decoding one or more page messages received on the paging channel through an alternate antenna when a first page indicator received on the page indicator channel through the initial antenna decodes as an erasure value, where the erasure value indicates that an unequivocal value is not present; and decoding one or more page messages received on the paging channel through the initial antenna and through the alternate antenna together and ignoring the page indicator channel when no paging message received on the paging channel through the initial antenna or through the alternate antenna alone decodes with a correct error checking code for a pre-determined period of time during the discontinuous reception cycle.
