Abstract

A wireless network device comprises at least two antennas that transmit and receive data packets. An antenna diversity module measures at least one of an average signal to noise ratio (SNR) and an error rate of said data packets during at least one of transmitting and receiving N packets, where N is an integer greater than one, and selects one of said at least two antennas based on said at least one of said average SNR and said error rate.
