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.

Communication device with millimeter wave multipath selection and aggregation using wearable reflective surfaces
A communication device, computer program product, and method provide improved communication performance by a wearable communication device. The communication device receives multipaths of a millimeter wave (mmWave) signal created by a wearable radio frequency (RF) reflecting surface being worn by a person. Controller of the communication device identifies a first direction from which a direct path downlink signal is received and a second direction from which a corresponding a multipath downlink signal is received. The controller determines that the multipath downlink signal is being reflected from the wearable RF reflecting surface. In response to determining that the multipath downlink signal is being reflected from the wearable RF reflecting surface, the controller synchronizes and aggregates the direct path downlink signal and the multipath downlink signal to produce a processed downlink signal that is a better signal than the direct path downlink signal. The controller demodulates the processed downlink signal.
