Abstract

A communication device is provided including a receiver to receive a signal set. A first equalizer equalizes the signal set in accordance with a first equalization process taking into account that the signal set includes an inter cell interference signal, thereby generating a first equalized signal set. A first calculating circuit is configured to calculate a predefined characteristic of the first equalized signal set. A second equalizer equalizes the signal set in accordance with a second equalization process taking into account that the signal set is free from an inter cell interference signal, thereby generating a second equalized signal set. A second calculating circuit is configured to calculate a predefined characteristic of the second equalized signal set. A selecting circuit is configured to select the first equalized signal set or the second equalized signal set for further processing based on the determined predefined characteristics.
