DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PROTOCOL MODE SWITCHING

摘要

A mobile terminal (20) comprises a wireless interface (21) for communication with a cellular communication network (10). A logic (27) is configured to control the wireless interface (21) to perform a mode switching signalling to cause activation of a protocol mode selected from a plurality of protocol modes for communicating over the wireless interface (21). The logic (27) is configured to selectively activate or deactivate at least one signal processing unit (24, 25) as a function of the selected protocol mode. The at least one signal processing unit (24, 25) is configured to process data received or transmitted via the wireless interface (21).
