    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: Systems and methods for antenna switching without using a radio-frequency switch are provided. A signal received via a first antenna is digitized to form a first digital received signal. A signal received via a second antenna is digitized to form a second digital received signal. A switch selects the first digital received signal or the second digital received signal to be supplied to a modem to be demodulated. The switch may also supply a digital transmit signal from the modem to be supplied to digital-to-analog converters to and then transmitted using the first or second antenna. Additionally, when the modem is demodulating the signal received via the first antenna, another modem may be demodulating the signal received via the second antenna and vice versa.

    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: Techniques for providing transmission throttling for emission exposure management are described. Embodiments implement duty cycle based transmission throttling for emission exposure management. Transmission throttling implemented in accordance with embodiments drops or skips transmission of some portion of transmission blocks of a communication process, such as to drop some transmission blocks providing retransmission of data. Transmit power levels utilized with respect to each of transmission blocks transmitted may be closer to that of a transmit power control target level (e.g., meeting the TPC target level) while nevertheless meeting an emission exposure limit level. Embodiments may, for example, be implemented with respect to a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
