Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further save the power of a receiver of a remote unit by determining the number of antennas that should be used during spatial processing operations. SOLUTION: The remote unit includes a plurality of antennas and a spatial processing unit coupled to the plurality of antennas. The remote unit further includes logic that measures the performance of every receive path when they are all enabled. Furthermore, the logic determines if the power conserved by disabling an enabled receive path warrants a loss in performance level from disabling the enabled receive path. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
