Title:
ANTENNA-TO-TRANSCEIVER MAPPING OF MULTIMODE WIRELESS DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015092706
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine which antennas are likely to serve most effectively in receiving and/or transmitting wireless signals so as to conserve power of wireless devices.SOLUTION: Each antenna of a plurality of antennas may be configured to communicate using different radio technologies, and at least some transceivers of a plurality of transceivers may be configured to utilize different radio technologies. A selector circuit may be present that is configured, based on input from a processor, to map the antennas to the transceivers. The processor may be configured to control which antenna of the plurality of antennas is mapped to which transceiver of the plurality of transceivers. Touch sensors may be used to determine which of one or more antennas are likely to serve as effective electromagnetic transducers. Signal-to-noise measurements may be used to determine when to modify an antenna mapping.
