METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING PROCESSING LOAD ASSOCIATED WITH DETERMINATION OF BEST QUALITY DATA

摘要

A method for optimizing processing load associated with determination of a best quality data in a multi-input data processor of a communication system. The communication system includes a plurality of base stations in communication with the multi-input data processor. Each base station receives a data from a data terminal and transmits the data to the multi-input data processor. The multi-input, data processor processes the data received from each of the base stations to determine an acceptable quality level. The multi-input data processor then transmits the acceptable quality level to the base stations. The base stations receive at least one other data from the data terminal and transmits the at least one other data to the multi-input data processor for use in determining the best quality data, only when one or more quality metrics associated with the least one other data meet the acceptable quality level.
