Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9213398A1] An antenna selection technique is used in an RF communication system in which user modules (UM1-UM5) communicate with at least one node (N1-N2). The UM's (UM1-UM5) and nodes (N1, N2) each have multiple antennae. The combination of each UM and node antenna is evaluated at the UM. Based on at least signal quality, the UM (UM1-UM5) selects its antenna and the best node antenna for use. An alternate antenna is selected if a person is determined to be present in a predetermined area adjacent a UM (UM1-UM5) corresponding to a predetermined RF power level.
