Zusammenfassung:A communications apparatus having multiple antennas for supporting MIMO communications includes a processor coupled to at least a radio transceiver, a baseband processing element and the antennas. The processor at least includes a first processor logic unit for determining a value of an indicator according to a plurality of signals received from an air interface via the radio transceiver and a second processor logic unit for dynamically adjusting a number of antennas utilized in following receiving operations based on the value of the indicator. The signals are transmitted by a peer communications apparatus via one or more transmitting antennas and the indicator is capable of reflecting qualities of the signals.
