Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for managing diversity tune-away on a wireless communication device configured with at least two radio frequency (RF) receive resources associated with a connection in a high speed data network. The wireless device may monitor data communications and downlink channel conditions in the high speed data network, and determine whether a diversity tune-away mode has been entered. Upon determining that the diversity tune-away mode has been entered, the wireless device may perform a deliberate acknowledgment procedure by ignoring normal error detection for received data and sending an acknowledgment message for the received data to the high speed data network. The wireless device may determine whether the diversity tune-away mode has ended, and in response to determining that the diversity tune-away mode has ended, and halt the deliberate acknowledgment procedure in response to determining that the diversity tune-away mode has ended.
