Abstract
Techniques for controlling receive diversity on a wireless device are disclosed. In one aspect, one or more thresholds are determined based on one or more parameters. One or more other parameters are compared against the one or more thresholds to determine whether to enable or disable receive diversity. For example, a wireless device may determine a threshold value based on a first parameter related to communication of the wireless device. The wireless device may decide to enable or disable receive diversity based on a second parameter and the threshold value. The wireless device may receive data transmission with receive diversity when a decision is made to enable receive diversity. The first parameter may relate to characteristics of data being received by the wireless device and may be represented by percentage downlink utilization. The second parameter may relate to channel conditions and may be represented by an improvement in received signal quality with receive diversity enabled.
