Abstract
A transceiver determines the signal quality of a desired signal and the strength of all received signals. When the signal quality of the desired signal is low, and the signal strength of all received signals is high, the receiver is adapted to operate in a higher current mode, thereby minimizing intermodulation distortion. Conversely, when the quality of the desired signal is low and the strength of all received signals is also low, or when the quality of the desired signal is above a threshold, the receiver operates in a lower current mode to conserve power and maximize battery lifetime. Also, when the transceiver adapts to operate in the higher current mode, a command is sent instructing a transmitting party to increase the quality of their message which may enable the listening transceiver to adapt (return) to a lower current mode.
