Abstract: A communication device is provided that includes a first transmission circuit configured to transmit radio signals with a first transmission power range up to a first predefined transmission power. The communication device further includes a second transmission circuit configured to transmit the radio signals with a second transmission power range up to a second predefined transmission power. The communication device further includes a baseband circuit configured to select a transmission circuit from the first transmission circuit and the second transmission circuit and to generate a signal based on the predefined transmission power of the selected transmission circuit. The baseband circuit is configured to apply the signal to the selected transmission circuit to be transmitted by the selected transmission circuit.

Abstract: A method (300) for temperature control in a radio receiver includes: receiving (301) a sequence of radio subframes, wherein each radio subframe (200) in the sequence of radio subframes comprises at least one control region (201) and at least one data region (202); monitoring (302) temperature information indicating a system temperature (T) of the radio receiver; and if the temperature information indicates that the system temperature (T) exceeds (303) a first threshold (T1), transition (304) to a second state (305) in which receiving the at least one data region is disabled.
