1. A method, comprising:
monitoring, in a listening state of a Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) device, a given section of wireless spectrum for higher-priority signals using a first antenna set associated with a first Automatic Gain Controller (AGC) set while concurrently monitoring the given section of wireless spectrum for wireless packet-based traffic using a second antenna set associated with a second AGC set; and
in response to detecting a packet via the second antenna set, receiving, in a receiving state of the MIMO device, the packet via the first antenna set and the second antenna set using a third AGC set.
