According to an example, a communication device is described comprising a receiver configured to receive a signal, a divider configured to divide the signal into signal components, an estimator configured to estimate, for each signal component, an expected processing error which is made when, instead of a first processing scheme, a second processing scheme is used to process the signal component, wherein the first has a higher processing effort than the second, a determiner configured to determine, for each signal component, whether to process the signal component by the first or by the second processing scheme based on the expected processing errors.

Communication device and method for processing a signal

A radio receiver apparatus includes a serving cell detector configured to generate a detected serving cell signal based on a serving cell detector input signal. The radio receiver apparatus further includes a first interfering cell detector configured to generate a detected first interfering cell signal based on a first interfering cell detector input signal and a first interfering cell synthesizer configured to generate synthesized first interfering cell signal based on the detected first interfering cell signal. A serving cell interference removing unit is configured to remove the synthesized first interfering cell signal from a serving cell signal to generate the serving cell detector input signal.

Interference cancellation radio receiver

A system and method for dynamic receive diversity allocation. A communications device comprises a first physical layer (PHY) unit, a second PHY unit, a first signal path coupled to a first antenna and to the first PHY unit, a switchable signal path coupled to a second antenna and switchably coupled to the first PHY unit and the second PHY unit, and a switch control unit coupled to the second antenna. The switch control unit dynamically generates a control signal used to switchably couple the second antenna to either the first PHY unit or the second PHY unit. The second antenna may be used to provided a needed transmit or receive antenna or an extra antenna for use in increasing diversity. Switching antennas reduces the total number of antennas and support hardware, such as digital processing hardware, for wireless communications standards having a high ratio of idle to busy time.
