    摘要: A wireless adapter front end for an information handling system may comprise a wireless adapter for receiving content via a transceiving antenna configurable to have a plurality of antenna radiation patterns, and a controller. The controller may execute code instructions to receive a trigger input indicating decreased signal strength, measure RSSI variance of the wireless link, measure a rate of mobility of the information handling system determined from accelerometer data or velocity data, identify an allotted training duration time period associated with the rate of mobility and RSSI variance, identify an optimal antenna pattern associated with a highest quality link within the allotted training duration time period, and instruct the transceiving antenna to operate according to the optimal antenna pattern.

    摘要: An information handling system operating a reconfigurable antenna training control system may comprise a configurable antenna system in one of a plurality of available configurations transceiving a radio frequency signal, and a radio frequency system measuring performance metrics for the signal transceived according to each available configuration over a training time period preset based on historical performance and stability of each available configuration. An antenna front end system may execute instructions of the reconfigurable antenna training control system to determine a weighted performance metric based on the measured performance metrics and on historical performance metrics for each candidate configuration, to compare the weighted performance metrics for each configuration, and to identify one of the configurations having a highest weighted performance metric as an optimal configuration. The configurable antenna may then establish a wireless link using the optimal configuration.
