METODO PARA ACTIVAR/DESACTIVAR AUTOMATICAMENTE UNA DIVERSIDAD DE RECEPCION DE X-VIAS DE UNA ESTACION BASE EN UNA RED MOVIL, EN FUNCION DEL CONSUMO DE BANDA BASE

Method for controlling receiver diversity operation in a base station of a mobile telecommunications network, the base station (2) comprising a first receiver arrangement and a second receiver arrangement, the method comprising: - activating the first receiver arrangement, thereby receiving signals at a first gain level; - activating the second receiver arrangement, thereby receiving signals at a second gain level, said second gain level being equal or lower than said first gain level; and characterized in that it further comprises: - measuring baseband consumption at the base station (2) at predetermined intervals; and - if the baseband consumption exceeds a predetermined deactivation threshold TH DE deactivating the first receiver arrangement, thereby leaving only the second receiver arrangement active The first receiver arrangement is a 2-way receiver arrangement and the second receiver arrangement is a 2-way receiver arrangement - when operating together they form a 4-way receiver arrangement.
