Abstract:
1. A computer program product for enabling a MIMO operation mode in a multimode communication terminal, the computer program product comprising: a non-transitory tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising: switching a first channel module to have parameter characteristics consistent with those of a second channel module, so that said multimode communication terminal enables said MIMO operation mode by using said first channel module and said second channel module at the same time; extracting corresponding parameters from said second channel module; configuring said first channel module to be switched with said extracted parameters, such that said first channel module and said second channel module enable said multimode communication terminal to perform MIMO communication; issuing, upon determination of a switch, notification instructions to means in channel switch layer means; and changing a data channel associated with said first channel module, such that said first channel module and said second channel module can be adapted to said MIMO operation mode; wherein said step of changing said data channel is performed according to the notification instruction of said switch notifying unit; wherein said step of extracting and configuring parameters is performed according to the notification instructions of said switch notifying unit; and wherein said parameters from said second channel module include specific operating state parameters of channel modules and/or signals controlling operating states of the channel modules.
