Abstract
A mobile terminal reduces its power consumption by selectively switching between a diversity mode and a non-diversity mode. The mobile terminal monitors the total output power of two or more of its transmitters, and selectively switches between the diversity mode and the non-diversity mode based on the total output power. The mobile terminal may also selectively switch between the diversity and non-diversity modes based on a difference in output power levels between the two or more transmitters.
