Abstract
The present application includes a system and method that provisions at least two (2) receivers in a topology that allows each receiver to acquire wireless communication signals through different diverse antenna fields. Each receiver acquires the signal, and demodulates, decodes and sends data to the data terminal component. The data terminal component resolves packet alignment issues and selects the best data. This improves system reliability and reduces the system susceptibility to data corruption or loss of data due to signal fading that might occur on a single antenna field. Provisioning a wireless system in this manner reduces the likelihood that the same fading phenomena, resulting from either multipath and/or shadowing affects, impair signal reception causing data dropout or loss of data.
