Abstract

Method, apparatus and computer program product measuring signals received through multiple antennas in a mobile wireless device is described. Signals received through at least one of a primary antenna and a secondary antenna, during each cycle in a series of discontinuous reception cycles, is measured. The mobile wireless device switches between the primary and secondary antennas based on comparing the moving averages of the measured received signals to pre-determined thresholds. When unable to decode successfully a signal received on the primary antenna, the mobile wireless device switches to decode signals received on the secondary antenna.
