Abstract
A transceiver is operated in a cellular communications system, wherein the transceiver has a variable transmitter output power that spans a range of power levels comprising a low-power domain and a high-power domain. Operation includes determining whether the transmitter output power of the transceiver is in the low-power domain or the high-power domain. If the transmitter output power of the transceiver is in the low-power domain, then transceiver operation is initiated in a full-duplex mode in which transmitted and received signals pass through a duplexer associated with a transceiver antenna. If the transmitter output power of the transceiver is in the high-power domain, then transceiver operation is initiated in a half-duplex mode and bypassing the duplexer.
