In this abstract, methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are discussed. One approach involves a device performing analog to digital conversion (ADC) on a wireless signal, generating a set of samples. The device then attenuates the signal based on its dynamic range and performs a second ADC on the attenuated signal, generating another set of samples. The device amplifies the second set of samples and outputs whichever set of samples is greater.

Another approach involves the second ADC determining whether to attenuate the wireless signal based on its input power. If necessary, the signal is attenuated, amplified, and then outputted.

In yet another approach, a wireless device estimates the input power of the wireless signal across multiple antenna elements. Based on this estimation, the device determines adjustments to the gain states of low-noise amplifiers (LNA) associated with each antenna element.
