Patent ID: 7729662

Claim:
A method of operating a wireless transceiver having an antenna, the antenna having more than one antenna pattern, the method comprising: determining a current value of communication quality for a transceiver based on a received signal; if the current value of communication quality is greater than a maximum threshold value of communication quality, then continuing reception of information and transmission of information; if the current value of communication quality is less than a minimum threshold value of communication quality, then interrupting reception of information and transmission of information and starting a procedure for the optimization of the antenna pattern; and if the current value of communication quality is greater than the minimum threshold value of communication quality and less than the maximum threshold value of communication quality, and if a pre-assigned time interval since completion of a previous performance of the procedure for the optimization of the antenna pattern has expired, then interrupting reception of information and transmission of information and starting the procedure for the optimization of the antenna pattern.
