Embodiments include systems and methods for performing selection of a transport format combination by a device processor of a wireless communication device. The device processor may determine whether radio frequency self-jamming interference is detected at the receiver of the wireless communication device. The device processor may calculate an average transmit power reduction in response to determining that radio frequency self-jamming interference is detected at a receiver of the wireless communication device. The device processor may select a transport format combination based on the calculated average transmit power reduction, and may use the selected transport format combination to transmit data to a communication network.
