A radio communication device is described comprising: a receiver configured to receive radio signals on a radio channel; a noise level determination circuit configured to determine a noise level of the radio signals; an interference determination circuit configured to determine interference information indicating an amount of interference of the radio signals with other signals; an equalizer configured to determine a softbit based on the radio signals and based on the noise level; and a scaling circuit configured to scale based on the determined interference information at least one of the noise level or the softbit.
