Claims:1. A communication system, comprising:
a mobile device including:
a first transceiver coupled to a first antenna configured to communicate using a first communication protocol via the first antenna; and
a first docking interface communicatively coupled to the first transceiver; and
a base device including:
a second antenna; and
a second docking interface communicatively coupled to the second antenna and configured to connect to the first docking interface to communicatively couple the second antenna to the first transceiver,
wherein the first transceiver is configured to communicate via the second antenna in response to a connection of the first docking interface with the second docking interface.
, Description:BACKGROUND
Field
Aspects described herein generally relate to antenna systems, including one or more external antennas communicatively coupled via a docking interface.

Wireless communication environments can use multi-antenna techniques that include multiple antennas at a transmitter, receiver, and/or transceiver. The multi-antenna techniques can be grouped into three different categories: diversity, interference suppression, and spatial multiplexing. These three categories are often collectively referred to as Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) communication even though not all of the multi-antenna techniques that fall within these categories require at least two antennas at both the transmitter and receiver.
