If not, the first radio module operates in an idle mode and the processor may arbitrate the right to use one of the antennas (and the corresponding receiving circuit) based on the algorithm as illustrated below.

- the pulses on the right-hand side of R2 show the predetermined receiving activities to be performed by R2.

- Scenario 3 Connected mode with DRX and collision occurs in DRX On period or the retransmission period
- the processor when the processor (for example, the processor 250) of the first radio module determines that the DRX is applied, the processor may further determine whether the timing of the second radio module performing the second receiving activity coincides with the DRX On period or the retransmission period of the first radio module. If so, the processor may arbitrate the right to use one of the antennas (and the corresponding receiving circuit) based on the algorithm as illustrated below.
- the DRX On period refers to the time for the first radio module in the connected mode to wake up to receive the data from the first wireless network
- the retransmission period refers the time during which the first radio module is receiving the retransmitted data from the first wireless network. Note that, unlike the GSM and UMTS systems, in the LTE systems, the DRX operation can be applied not only in the idle mode, but also in the connected mode for power-saving purposes, in particular to conserve the battery power of the communications apparatus.
- the first radio module may yield the right to use one of the antennas ANT1 or ANT2 (and the corresponding receiving circuit) to the second radio module for performing the second receiving activity when the first DRX cycle duration of the first radio module in the connected mode is shorter than the second DRX cycle duration, of the second radio module.

- FIG. 7 is an exemplary timing diagram showing the receiving activities of the radio modules along the time axis when the first DRX cycle duration and the second DRX cycle duration are of equal length in scenario 3, according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the first radio module may use the antenna ANTl and ANT2 to perform the receiving activity at time T3 and use only the antenna ANTl to perform the receiving activity at time T4 and thus the second radio module can use the antenna ANT2 to perform the receiving activity at time T4.
- Scenario 4 Connected mode with DRX and inactive timer
- the processor when the processor (for example, the processor 250) of the first radio module determines that the DRX is applied and the timing of the second radio module performing the second receiving activity does not coincide with the DRX On period or the retransmission period of the first radio module, the processor further determines whether the inactivity timer of the first radio module has not expired.

Therefore, the first radio module may not yield the right to use any of the antennas ANT1 and ANT2 (and the corresponding receiving circuits) to the second radio module, and may still use the antennas ANT1 and ANT2 to perform the receiving activity during the duration Dl . However, after finishing the continuous receiving activity during the duration Dl, the first radio module may yield the right to use the antennas to the second radio module at the next paging occasion (for example, at time T6 as shown in FIG. 9) of the second radio module.
- the first radio module may further report the value of the RI to the first wireless network as a preferred number of layers to be sent by the first wireless network, and further report a value for a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) based on the reported value of the RI and the number of receiving antennas after switching to the first wireless network at least once at the proper time after reporting a value of 1 for the RI.
