Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums for wireless communication are disclosed by the present disclosure. In an example, a user equipment (UE) may be located on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UE may monitor at least one of an elevation of the UE or a number of cells detected by the UE. The UE may determine that the elevation of the UE exceeds an elevation threshold or the number of cells detected by the UE exceeds a cell threshold. The UE may determine a current communication mode of the UE. The UE may switch to a directional transmit mode, in response to determining that the current communication mode is an omnidirectional transmit mode and at least one of the elevation of the UE exceeds the elevation threshold or the number of cells detected by the UE exceeds the cell threshold.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus relating to intelligent resource assignment to increase throughput in LTE multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and carrier aggregation (CA) capable devices. In certain aspects, a MIMO and CA capable wireless communication device communicates with a base station (BS) on multiple component carriers (CCs) through multiple radio frequency (RF) chains. In such aspects, the device tentatively switches one or more first RF chains, not assigned to a first CC of the multiple CCs, to the first CC for evaluating a rank of the first CC. The device then determines that the first CC has a higher rank indication (RI) with the one or more RF chains. The device subsequently evaluates one or more performance factors, in conjunction with the higher rank, based on which the device then additionally assigns one or more second RF chains to the first CC.
