Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing improved cell-edge antenna performance are disclosed. The system can use various signal quality indicators (SQIs) for each user equipment (UE) on a particular wireless base station (WBS) or network. When one or more of these metrics reaches a first predetermined value for a particular UE, the WBS or the UE can decide to activate a diversity receive (Rx) antenna on the UE to improve reception. If one or more of these metrics continues to degrade to a second predetermined value, however, the WBS or the UE can deactivate the diversity Rx antenna and activate a primary Rx antenna. Deactivating the diversity antenna when signal quality/strength is poor can improve reception by reducing interference between the diversity Rx antennas. Disabling the diversity Rx antenna when signal quality/strength is poor can also decrease the number of retransmission requests from each UE, reducing traffic on the WBS.

Claim (Index 1):
A network entity associated with a network provider comprising:\n a transceiver to send and receive at least one of wired or wireless transmissions; memory storing computer-executable instructions including a network radio resource management (NRRM) application; and a processor in communication with at least the transceiver and the memory, the computer-executable instructions causing the processor to perform acts comprising:\n receiving, with the transceiver, a first signal from a user equipment (UE), the first signal including a first radio resource control (RRC) message; \n determining, with the NRRM application, based at least in part on a first value of a first signal quality indicator (SQI) in the first RRC message to activate a diversity receive (Rx) mode on an antenna on the UE; \n sending, with the transceiver, a second signal to the UE, the second signal causing the UE to activate the diversity Rx mode of the antenna; \n receiving, with the transceiver, a third signal from the UE, the third signal including a second RRC message; \n determining, with the NRRM application, based at least in part on a second value of a second SQI in the second RRC message to deactivate the diversity Rx mode on the antenna; and \n sending, with the transceiver, a fourth signal to the UE to cause the UE to deactivate the diversity Rx mode of the antenna and activate a main Rx mode of the antenna.
