    Abstract: A communications apparatus includes an antenna module, multiple front-end signal processing circuits, and a processor. The antenna module transmits and receives RF signals for communicating with a network device and includes at least one antenna. Each front-end signal processing circuit is coupled to the antenna module for receiving the RF signals and processing the RF signals. The processor is coupled to the front-end signal processing circuits. The processor determines whether there is any downlink data to be received from the network device according to the content of received RF signals. When there is some downlink data to be received from the network device, the processor determines to turn off at least one front-end signal processing circuit and only use the remaining front-end signal processing circuits to process the received RF signals.
