Abstract
A device may determine a first signal quality value associated with a wireless signal received by a first antenna of the device, may determine a second signal quality value associated with a wireless signal received by a second antenna of the device, and may determine a combined signal quality value based on the first signal quality value and the second signal quality value. The device may apply an offset value to the first signal quality value to form a modified signal quality value, may compare the combined signal quality value and the modified signal quality value, and may selectively report the modified signal quality value or the combined signal quality value based on comparing the combined signal quality value and the modified signal quality value.
