METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for down-converting a long-range communication signal that is wirelessly received via a first antenna of a communication device to extract a first version of a baseband signal, down-converting a short-range communication signal wirelessly received from a second device via a second antenna of the communication device to extract a second version of the baseband signal from the long-range communication signal that can be received at the second device, which is remote from the communication device, via a second antenna. The first version and second version of the baseband signal can be combined to generate an information signal that can be processed. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
wirelessly receiving, by a mobile communication device, a first communication signal via a first antenna of the mobile communication device from a first network, wherein the first communication signal comprises a first version of a baseband signal that is modulated with a first carrier signal; wirelessly receiving, by the mobile communication device, a second communication signal from a second device on a second network, wherein the second communication signal comprises a second version of the baseband signal that is modulated with a second carrier signal by the second device; selecting, by the mobile communication device, a selected baseband signal from one of the first version of the baseband signal or the second version of the baseband signal according to a difference in signal quality between the first version of the baseband signal and the second version of the baseband signal; and wirelessly transmitting, by the mobile communication device, a control signal to the second device, wherein the control signal directs the second device to adjust one of extracting of the second version of the baseband signal, modulating of the second version of the baseband signal, or a combination thereof.
