The present invention is a system for increasing Signal-to-Noise Ratio
(SNR) in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of
antennas each antenna providing a signal, a device for selecting a subset
of signals provided by the plurality of antennas, a maximum ratio
combiner for summing the selected subset of signals provided by the
plurality of antennas, and a decision device for measuring the selected
subset of signals against a predefined threshold. The device for
selecting the subset of signals is coupled to the plurality of antennas.
The maximum ratio combiner is coupled to the selected subset of signals
and the decision device for measuring the selected subset of signals
against a predefined threshold. The decision device is coupled to the
selecting device such that one selected signal of the selected subset of
signals is replaced by an unused signal provided by the plurality of
antennas.
