Abstract

A communication system includes: a receiver resource module configured to determine a receiver-antenna count for characterizing a device; an adjustment module, coupled to the receiver resource module, configured to generate a receiver-capacity profile exceeding a capability associated with the receiver-antenna count with a control unit; and a report module, coupled to the adjustment module, configured to transmit the receiver-capacity profile for communicating a communication content for communicating with the device.

a serving layer module configured to determine a signal layer data associated with the receiver-antenna count from the receiver signal, and

an additional layer module configured to determine a further layer data associated with a difference between the receiver-antenna count and the receiver-capacity profile using an interference-aware processing mechanism for processing the receiver signal using the signal layer data and the further layer data.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a signal-processing module, coupled to the report module, configured to receive a receiver signal according to the receiver-capacity profile, with the signal-processing module including;

an interference layer module configured to determine an interference content associated with a difference between the receiver-antenna count and the receiver-capacity profile from the receiver signal using an interference-aware processing mechanism, and

an additional layer module configured to determine a further layer data from the interference content for processing a portion of the receiver signal.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the adjustment module is configured to generate the receiver-capacity profile based on an interference-aware processing mechanism.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the adjustment module is configured to generate an advance receiver notification.
