Transitioning from MIMO to SISO to save power

摘要

Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory may include computer-executable code that, when executed by the processor, is configured to cause the apparatus to send a message to a node in wireless communication with the apparatus, the message indicating a transition by the apparatus from multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to single-input single-output (SISO), and transition from wireless MIMO communication with the node to wireless SISO communication with the node after sending the message to the node.

主权项

1. A method of transitioning wireless communication modes in a wireless communication with a node, the method comprising:
determining a threshold number of packets or frames to be transmitted to the node; and facilitating a transition between a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) mode and a single-input-single-output (SISO) mode based on at least the determined threshold number of packets or frames to be transmitted to the node.
