Abstract
A communication device in a communication network according to the invention comprises: a signal processing unit configured to demodulate symbols of a received digital signal into payload data to be provided to a data processing unit through an interfacing link, e.g. a MAC/PHY interface, the received digital signal being made of raw data; a bandwidth determining module configured to determine available bandwidth in a transmission slot allocated to one symbol of the received digital signal for transmitting corresponding payload data through the interfacing link; a sampler configured to select raw data from the received digital signal that correspond to the determined available bandwidth; and a multiplexer configured to combine the selected raw data with the payload data corresponding to the one symbol into the same transmission packet to be provided to the data processing unit through the interfacing link.
