Abstract
Systems and methods of controlling transmission of communications from a base station to a wireless communication station are provided. When the signal quality of communications between the base station and the wireless communication station are above a predetermined signal quality level, multiple antennas are employed for transmitting such communications. When the signal quality of transmissions by the base station to the wireless communication station are below a predetermined signal quality level, a single antenna is employed for transmitting such communications.
