Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that a first component carrier (CC), associated with a first communications chain of one or more components of the wireless communication device, has a lower throughput than a second CC associated with a second communications chain of the one or more components, wherein the second communications chain selectively receives a signal of a feedback receiver of a component of the one or more components. The wireless communication device may configure the one or more components of the wireless communication device to receive first communications of the first CC on the second communications chain and to receive second communications of the second CC on the first communications chain based at least in part on determining that the first CC has a lower throughput than the second CC.
