Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling power in a mobile device having two receivers operable in combination in a diversity mode. The apparatus includes a signal monitor and analyzer for monitoring and analyzing a signal concurrently received by the two receivers to determine whether or not one of the two receivers can be powered down while still maintaining a threshold quality of the signal for a reception of the signal by the other one of the two receivers. The apparatus further includes a power manager, in signal communication with the signal monitor and analyzer, for powering off at least the one of the two receivers based on an analysis result from the signal monitor and analyzer.
