Patent attributes
A radio device receives data from a base station that transmits a first radio signal, carrying a first data block, in a first time window, and a second radio signal, also carrying the first data block, in a different, second time window. The radio device comprises first and second antennas, receive circuitry, and a switch for selectively connecting the receive circuitry to the first antenna or to the second antenna. It is configured to sample the first radio signal, received by the first antenna in the first time window, to generate first sampled data; disconnect the first antenna from the receive circuitry and connect the second antenna; sample the second radio signal, received by the second antenna in the second time window, to generate second sampled data; and use both the first sampled data and the second sampled data to decode the first data block.
