Patent Images
1. A communication device comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a radio signal from another communication device via a communication channel;
a detector configured to detect the presence of an impairment of the communication channel;
a determiner configured to determine a type of the impairment of the communication channel by determining and identifying at least one of one or more types of interference and one or more types of fading affecting the communication channel; and
a transmitter configured to transmit an indication identifying the type of the impairment of the communication channel, wherein the indication identifies the at least one of the one or more types of interference and the one or more types of fading affecting the communication channel to the other communication device.
