Abstract: Device antennas may be allocated such that a non-LTE module (e.g., GSM module or 1x module) shares the same antenna with an LTE DRx module. This may lead to degradation of a non-LTE voice service when the LTE DRx module performs LTE transmit antenna selection causing the non-LTE module to be switched to a different antenna during reception/transmission of voice slots, resulting in a loss of slots. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for controlling antenna switching are provided. The apparatus facilitates a first radio module to use a first antenna for performing a first operation, detects that a second radio module will attempt to use the first antenna during transmit antenna selection for performing a second operation, and determines whether to switch use of the first antenna from the first radio module to the second radio module based on a type of the first operation.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating UE beam selection based on service demands are disclosed herein. An example method of wireless communication includes determining to select an UL beam having a higher EIRP capability than an EIRP capability associated with a current beam for transmitting on UL when at least one of a target transmit power based on a TPC exceeds an EIRP capability associated with the current beam or when an amount of data in a buffer of the UE is greater than a data threshold. The example method also includes determining, upon determining to select the UL beam, a set of UL beams with an EIRP capability satisfying an EIRP capability threshold and a respective beamforming direction corresponding to a beamforming direction associated with the current beam, selecting one UL beam of the set of UL beams, and transmitting on UL on the selected UL beam.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for the user equipment (UE) to select a power management mode from a plurality of power management modes supported by the UE based on decoding of a portion of the downlink subframe. For example, when the UE receives a subframe from a base station, the UE may decode a control channel region of the subframe to determine whether the subframe includes a channel grant allocated to the UE. If no channel grant is included in the subframe, the UE may select a power management mode for the UE from the plurality of power management modes supported by the UE that maximizes the UE's sleep opportunities while balancing the deficient performance costs.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relate to sounding reference signal (SRS) transmit antenna selection in wireless communication systems. For example, a user equipment (UE) may select, from a set of antennas, a subset of antennas for SRS transmission based on at least one antenna selection parameter. The UE may further transmit, on an uplink communication channel, the SRS using the subset of antennas to a network entity. In some aspects, the at least one antenna selection parameter may include a reference signal receive power (RSRP) value, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value, a spectrum efficiency value, and/or an SNR value and a channel correlation value.
