    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that configure wireless circuitry in a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device establishes a connection to a wireless network using wireless circuitry that includes a first radio frequency receive signal chain and a second radio frequency receive signal chain. The wireless communication device monitors uplink and downlink traffic activity communicated between the wireless communication device and the wireless network and measures downlink radio frequency receive signal conditions at the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device reconfigures the wireless circuitry to enable receive diversity or to disable receive diversity at the wireless communication device based on the monitored traffic activity and the measured downlink radio frequency receive signal conditions.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for dynamically adjusting radio frequency circuitry in a wireless communication device are disclosed. The wireless communication device can receive downlink communication using carrier aggregation through a primary component carrier and a secondary component carrier. When carrier aggregation is not enabled, the wireless communication device adjusts the radio frequency circuitry based on default values. When carrier aggregation is enabled, the wireless communication device evaluates radio frequency conditions for the primary and secondary component carriers and adjusts the radio frequency circuitry based on whether uplink and/or downlink communication is power constrained. When uplink communication is power constrained, the wireless communication device adjusts the radio frequency circuitry for optimal performance via the primary component carrier, and when uplink communication is not power constrained, the wireless communication device adjusts the radio frequency circuitry for optimal performance via the combination of the primary and secondary component carriers used for carrier aggregation.
