A method for wireless communication is described. A primary radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) supporting a plurality of radio frequency (RF) receive paths is provided. Standalone RF resources of a core-resource RFIC to integrate with the plurality of RF receive paths of the primary RFIC to enable an additional functionality of the primary RFIC are then added. A minimum set of RF resources necessary to add support for an additional RF receive path may be determined, and RF resources, including one or more of an antenna, an RF front end, and a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and switches of the primary RFIC, may be shared. A digital baseband integrated circuit (IC), i.e. a modem, may be operated to support both a first of the plurality of RF receive paths from the primary RFIC and a second of the plurality of RF receive paths from the core-resource RFIC.
