Abstract: A communication device is described comprising a first antenna, a second antenna and a third antenna; a first transceiver configured to communicate using at least the first antenna; a second transceiver configured to communicate using at least the second antenna; and a controller configured to determine whether the third antenna is to be used by the first transceiver or the second transceiver based on a selection criterion and configured to control the first transceiver to communicate using the first antenna and the third antenna if the controller has determined that the third antenna is to be used by the first transceiver and to control the second transceiver to communicate using the second antenna and the third antenna if the controller has determined that the third antenna is to be used by the second transceiver.
