    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: 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.
