Techniques for process based antenna configuration are described, and may be implemented via a wireless device to identify different usage scenarios and to adapt antenna configurations to optimize wireless performance based on the scenarios. For instance, the described techniques enable a wireless device to be calibrated for wireless communication by identifying different obstruction states of a wireless device that correspond to ways that the wireless device is held (e.g., grasped) by a user in different scenarios. The obstruction states are then correlated to antenna positions in the wireless device to prioritize (e.g., activate) antennas that are relatively unobstructed, such as by activating unobstructed antennas and/or deactivating obstructed antennas. Further, calibration can take into specific processes (e.g., applications) and specific users to calibrate an optimize wireless performance based on ways in which a user typically interacts with a process.

A user equipment, a method, and computer-readable media. The UE, which includes a transceiver with a plurality of antenna panels, is configured to determine a link quality of a serving antenna panel. If the link quality of the serving panel is below a quality threshold, resources are allocated from the serving antenna panel to another antenna panel during a sweeping period to identify one or more beams of a target antenna panel for resuming communications. Measurements for a set of beams of the other antenna panel are obtained, during the sweeping period, with the allocated resources. The other antenna panel can be determined to be the target antenna panel based on the obtained measurements. The UE can switch from the serving antenna panel to the target antenna panel, select the one or more beams based on the obtained measurements, and resume the communications on the selected one or more beams.
