Claim 14:
15. A wireless communication device to control Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) layers, the wireless communication device comprising:
user circuitry to determine radio band status for a radio band;
the user circuitry to indicate the radio band status for the radio band to a radio;
the radio to wirelessly indicate the radio band status for the radio band to a wireless access node that is to select a number of the MIMO layers based on the radio band status for the radio band;
the radio to wirelessly receive signaling from the wireless access node that indicates the number of the MIMO layers and to transfer the signaling to the user circuitry; and
the radio to wirelessly receive the number of user data signals from the wireless access node over the number of the MIMO layers and to transfer the number of the user data signals to the user circuitry; and
the user circuitry to isolate the number of the user data signals from the number of the MIMO layers in response to the signaling.
