Patent ID: 8811922

Claim:
A method for communicating with a wireless network using an electronic device that supports communication using a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, comprising: monitoring wireless signal quality for at least the first radio access technology with the electronic device; based at least partly on the monitored wireless signal quality, determining whether to use a first antenna of two antennas alone to monitor a paging channel associated with the first radio access technology or whether to use both the first antenna and a second antenna to monitor the paging channel; during at least one page monitoring period: if using the first antenna alone is determined, using the first antenna to monitor the paging channel while simultaneously using the second antenna to convey wireless data traffic associated with the second radio access technology; and if using both antennas is determined, using both the first and second antennas to monitor the paging channel; and in response to completion of the page monitoring period without detection of an incoming page on the paging channel by the electronic device, using both the first and second antennas to convey wireless data traffic associated with the second radio access technology.
