Abstract
Provided is a method for selecting a receiver mode of a mobile terminal having two receivers and that can receive a signal using either or both of the two receivers depending on a channel environment. A method for selecting a receiver mode of a wireless communication terminal having at least two receivers includes computing at least one parameter for determining the receiver mode from a received signal; comparing the at least one parameter with a preset threshold; and selecting one only of a single receiver mode in which either of the two receivers is activated and a dual receiver mode in which both of the receivers are activated according to the comparison result. The method enables a receiver mode to switch between single and dual receiver modes adaptively according to a wireless environment, thus achieving stable signal reception without compromising reception sensitivity.
