  • Publication number: 20250167870
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may communicate using a first antenna and a second antenna. The UE may detect an event associated with a component of the UE. The UE may switch a radio frequency (RF) chain from the first antenna to a third antenna based on the detection of the event. The UE may measure, using the second antenna and the third antenna, one or more signals to obtain one or more measurement values based at least in part on switching the RF chain from the first antenna to the third antenna. The UE may transmit a communication using the second antenna or the third antenna based on the one or more measurement values. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20250150936
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for a UE to determine whether to maintain or remove a radio frequency (RF) path from a set of candidate paths considered for transmit antenna switch diversity (ASDIV). The determination allows the UE to avoid signal loss or degradation in coexisting networks at similar frequency ranges. For example, ASDIV allows two or more antennas to form different input and output ports to establish different RF paths. Coexistent networks, such as wireless wide-area-network (WWAN) and wireless local-area-network (WLAN) may utilize different RF paths to optimize reliability and efficiency. The overlapping of the bands may cause signal attenuation or degradation from at least one of the networks. The present disclosure provides techniques for detecting signal attenuation at least partially caused by overlapping bands and removing an associated RF path to avoid such signal loss or attenuation.
