Techniques for user equipment antenna prioritization
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may establish a first communication link using a first radio access technology (RAT). The UE may establish a second communication link using a second RAT. The UE may determine whether to prioritize antenna selection for the first communication link using the first RAT or the second communication link using the second RAT. The UE may prioritize antenna selection for the first communication link or the second communication link based at least in part on the determination. Numerous other aspects are provided.
TECHNIQUES FOR EMPLOYING ANTENNA SWITCHED DIVERSITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Aspects described herein relate to using antenna-switched diversity (ASDIV) in wireless communications. A serving node can be communicated with using a serving radio access technology (RAT) and based on an ASDIV configuration, wherein the ASDIV configuration defines an antenna switching configuration including a state of one or more switches in an ASDIV switch group for switching between one or more antennas for the communicating based on sensing one or more parameters of the communicating. It can be determined whether a target RAT supports operating using a same ASDIV switch group as the serving RAT. A target node can be communicated with using the target RAT and based on the ASDIV configuration where the target RAT operates using the same ASDIV switch group as the serving RAT.
Switching Device for a True Diversity Receiver
A switching device is adapted for a true diversity receiver and contains: a control switch defined between two microcontrollers of two antennas and configured to switch RF wireless microphone signals so that the two microcontrollers execute a single-receiving dual true diversity program or a dual-receiving single true diversity program. The RF wireless microphone signals are received by the two antennas and are decoded to sound signals by two digital decoders respectively, and the sound signals are sent to two audio signal processors by a multiplexer which corresponds to the two microcontrollers to switch the sound signals of a single-receiving dual true diversity or a dual-receiving single true diversity. Thereafter, the sound signals are output by a sound signal mixer.
