The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for determining an operational mode for a device in a network. An exemplary method comprises determining a device has a first antenna and a second antenna; determining a first number of multipath components and associated power levels for the first antenna; determining a second number of multipath components and associated power levels for the second antenna; and determining an operational mode for the device based on the first number of multipath components and its associated power levels for the first antenna and the second number of multipath components and its associated power levels for the second antenna.
