Abstract: Different Out-of-sync thresholds are defined for Radio Link Monitoring by a UE having a selectively enabled advanced receiver feature. When the advanced receiver feature is disabled, the UE monitors received signal quality and compares a signal quality metric to a first threshold developed for a reference receiver.

Regardless of whether the advanced receiver feature is enabled or not, a third threshold, developed for the reference receiver, is applied to determine when to return to In-sync. In one embodiment, the reference receiver enables two antennas, and the advanced receiver feature is enabling four antennas.
