Various method and apparatus embodiments for adjusting control loop parameters for wireless communication link are disclosed. The adjustments may be performed responsive to a single radio UE tuning away from a first network to a second network, or due to a fading condition. Responsive to detecting the tuning away of the UE or the fading condition, the base station may adjust one or more parameters of a control loop. The adjustments may include changing parameters of one or more filters in the BS. For example, a block error rate (BLER) first state can be reset to a small value, or can be incrementally adjusted responsive to detecting discrete transmissions (DTX) or other signals from the UE. In another example, BLER filter coefficients may be updated responsive to DTX detections.
