Abstract
In an embodiment, a radio communication device may be provided. The radio communication device may include a first receiver configured to receive from a first cell first data representing a content encoded using a first codec; a second receiver configured to receive from a second cell second data representing the content encoded using a second codec; and a combiner configured to combine the first data and the second data.
Claims24
A radio communication device, comprising:
- a first receiver configured to receive from a first cell first data representing a content encoded using a first codec;
- a second receiver configured to receive from a second cell second data representing the content encoded using a second codec;
- a combiner configured to combine the first data and the second data;
- and
- a decoder configured to decode the combined data;
- a reception discontinuation determiner configured to determine whether the first receiver stops receiving the first data and to determine whether the second receiver stops receiving the second data;
- wherein the decoder is further configured to decode the first data when the reception discontinuation determiner determines that the second receiver stops receiving the second data, and wherein the decoder is further configured to decode the second data when the reception discontinuation determiner determines that the first receiver stops receiving the first data, and
- wherein the first cell comprises a first uplink carrier component and a first downlink carrier component and wherein the first receiver receives the first data from the first downlink component,
- wherein the second cell comprises a second uplink carrier component and a second downlink carrier component and wherein the second receiver receives the second data from the first downlink component.
6 more elements
A method for controlling a radio communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving from a first downlink component of a first cell first data representing a content encoded using a first codec;
- receiving from a second downlink component of a second cell second data representing the content encoded using a second codec;
- combining the first data and the second data;
- decoding the combined data to obtain the content;
- determining whether the first receiver stops receiving the first data and determining whether the second receiver stops receiving the second data;
- decoding the first data when it is determined that the second receiver stops receiving the second data, and decoding the second data when it is determined that the first receiver stops receiving the first data;
- wherein the first data and the second data are received from a single base station.
4 more elements
A radio communication device, comprising:
- a receiver having a first receiver sub component configured to receive from a first cell first data representing a content encoded using a first codec and a second receiver sub component configured to receive from a second cell second data representing the content encoded using a second codec;
- and
- a combiner configured to combine the first data and the second data,
- a decoder configured to decode the combined data;
- a reception discontinuation determiner configured to determine whether the first receiver sub component stops receiving the first data and to determine whether the second receiver sub component stops receiving the second data;
- wherein the decoder is further configured to decode the first data when the reception discontinuation determiner determines that the second receiver sub component stops receiving the second data, and
- wherein the decoder is further configured to decode the second data when the reception discontinuation determiner determines that the first receiver sub component stops receiving the first data.
