Radio communication system with diversity reception on a time-slot by time-slot basis

摘要

A communication system base station improves uplink coverage on a time slot by time slot basis. The coverage is improved by allocating diversity and non-diversity time-slots based on received signal quality of an RF link between a mobile station and a base station. The diversity time-slots are time slots during which information is received by more receiver branches than during the non-diversity time-slots.
