FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method involves the following steps on which: it is determined whether a wireless communication device is under bad coverage (220), a first receiver and a second receiver are used for diversity (230), if the wireless communication device is under bad coverage, and the second receiver is used for scanning (240), if the wireless communication device is not under bad coverage. Consequently, diversity can be used when there need to improve reception. However, both receivers can be used in a mode without diversity in order to reduce current wastage or speed up channel capturing when coverage is not bad.
EFFECT: reduced wastage of power due to operation of more than one receiver.
