Radio communication devices and methods for performing radio communication

A radio communication device comprising:

• a housing;
• a plurality of radiohead circuits attached to the housing;
• baseband circuitry connected to the plurality of radiohead circuits via a digital interface;
• and
• a processor configured
• to select a radiohead circuit of the plurality of radiohead circuits for communication with another radio communication device to fulfill a predefined selection criterion with respect to a quality of a communication with the other radio communication device using the selected radiohead circuit;
• to determine whether a multi-antenna communication should be performed with the other radio communication device;
• to determine a number of additional radiohead circuits to be selected from among the plurality of radio head circuits in addition to the radiohead circuit depending on whether the multi-antenna communication should be performed with the other radio communication device;
• to select the additional radiohead circuits of the determined number for the multi-antenna communication;
• and
• to control the baseband circuitry to perform the multi-antenna communication with the other radio communication device using the selected radiohead circuit and additional radiohead circuits.
