DISTRIBUTED RADIOHEAD SYSTEM

Abstract:

Various aspects provide a radiohead circuit and a communication device including the radiohead circuit. In an example, the radiohead circuit includes an antenna interface, a radio frequency front end configured to receive a wireless communication signal via the antenna interface, and a processor configured to perform an initial signal detection to detect if a wireless communication signal has been received based on whether a signal the processor received from the radio frequency front end fulfill a predefined radiohead circuit detection criterion, generate an initial signal detection information comprising an information as to whether the wireless communication signal has been received based on the initial signal detection; and provide the initial signal detection information to a communication interface for a final signal detection; the communication interface configured to couple the processor to a radiohead circuit-external processor external to the radiohead circuit.
