Abstract

A communication method includes operating a communication unit (60, 124), which demodulates radio signals in accordance with a first air interface and applies at least one upper-layer process to the demodulated signals. A signal is received and demodulated in accordance with a second air interface, different from the first air interface. The demodulated signal is input to the communication unit so as to cause the communication unit to apply the upper-layer process to the signal that was demodulated using the second air interface, while superseding the first air interface.
