A network node in a wireless communication network generates configuration information that configures an extent to which a wireless communication device autonomously adapts a number of different receiver components that the wireless communication device uses under different conditions at the wireless communication device. In some examples, the different conditions may be associated with correlation of propagation channels received at the wireless communication device. The network node transmits the configuration information to the device. Correspondingly, the device autonomously adapts the number of different receiver components that the wireless communication device uses in accordance with the configuration information.
