Claim Text:
1. A method in a first radio node for adapting a receiver type in the first radio node, the first radio node comprising a first receiver type and a second receiver type, the two receiver types being different, and the first radio node being comprised in a wireless communications network, the wireless communications network further comprising a second radio node and at least one third radio node, the method comprising: determining a Cyclic Prefix, CP, length of at least one radio signal transmitted by the second radio node, and a CP length of at least one radio signal transmitted by the at least one third radio node; and adapting in the first radio node, the receiver type to be one of the first receiver type and the second receiver type, based on a relation between the CP length of the radio signal transmitted by the second radio node and the CP length of the radio signal transmitted by the third radio node, wherein the first radio node is unaware of the CP length of the at least one radio signal transmitted by the at least one third radio node when the first radio node receives the at least one radio signal from the second radio node, wherein the first receiver type is a first type of enhanced receiver of the first radio node configured to utilize a first technique for mitigating interference of the wireless communication network, and wherein the second receiver type is a second type of enhanced receiver of the first radio node configured to utilize a second technique, different from the first technique, for mitigating interference of the wireless communication network.
