In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus switches from a multiple receive diversity (RxD) on state to a RxD off state upon detecting a condition is in a certain state. The condition may be a high measure of correlation between a first antenna and a second antenna, or a high level of imbalance between the first antenna and the second antenna. The apparatus also periodically switches back to the RxD on state to determine if the condition remains in the certain state. The time period between entries into the RxD on state is dynamically adjusted as a function of prior conditions.
