Patent ID: 7756150

Claim:
A receiving method for a terminal supporting at least two communication modes and at least one receiving algorithm, the receiving method comprising: recognizing the terminal at eas one active communication mode and a channel status; selecting, by the terminal a receiving algorithm for the recognized at least one active communication mode according to the channel status by referring to a previously designed algorithm look table; and receiving, by the terminal, a signal of the recognize at east one active communication mode using the selected receiving algorithm, wherein the at least one active communication mode is at least one communication service mode provided in the terminal, and the at least one communication service mode includes at leas one from among a wireless local area network (WLAN), a wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN), and a broadcasting mode, and wherein a sum of computational complexities of the selected receiving algorithms is maximized while being constrained to be less than a predetermined computational complexity allowed by the terminal if high performance is top priority.
