    Abstract: According to an example, a communication terminal is described including a plurality of antennas, a transceiver configured to receive a message indicating a first antenna of the plurality of antennas that the communication terminal is to use as transmission antenna and a controller configured to determine whether a second antenna of the plurality of antennas has, according to a predetermined performance measure, a higher transmission performance than the first antenna and to control the transceiver to use the second antenna for transmission based on whether it has a higher transmission performance than the first antenna.

    Abstract: A user equipment for discontinuous reception operation in a wireless communication network comprises a receiver. The receiver is configured to operate in an RRC-connected state with predefined DRX active state time periods. The user equipment comprises a paging monitor which is configured to check whether a general paging message has already been read in a current paging cycle. The paging monitor is configured to check whether a general paging message is to be received in a current DRX active state time period if no general paging message has been read in the current paging cycle. The paging monitor is configured to read the general paging message during the current DRX active state time period.

    Abstract: An apparatus of user equipment (UE), comprises physical layer (PHY) circuitry, wherein the PHY circuitry includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver comprising: a first receive path configured to receive RF signals from an enhanced node B (eNB) of a cellular network and down convert the received RF signals using a local oscillator (LO) receive frequency; and a second receive path configured to down-convert received RF signals from the eNB and to operate simultaneously with the first communication path; and processing circuitry configured to: determine that a configured transmission mode of the UE supports receiving data using a single receive channel and includes receive antenna diversity; determine channel conditions using at least one channel quality metric; and; disable one of the first and second receive paths during a portion of a subframe transmitted during a downlink (DL) communication according to the determined transmission mode and the determined channel conditions.
