Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for managing a plurality of antennas on user equipment. A connection status module is configured to monitor the plurality of antennas for a data packet of a plurality of data. A control module is configured to power more than one of the plurality of antennas to measure signal quality in response to receiving the data packet. The signal quality comprises a power level of each of the plurality of antennas and a correlation of the plurality of antennas. An antenna quality module is configured to determine whether the correlation of the plurality of antennas is greater than a threshold in response to the connection status being active.
