Abstract
Aspects of the techniques and apparatuses described herein provide an intra slot antenna diversity scheme that a user equipment (UE) may use to transmit uplink communications while mitigating antenna imbalance. In an intra slot antenna diversity scheme, a UE transmits an uplink communication by transmitting a first portion of the uplink transmission in a first part of a slot using a first subset of antennas and a second portion of the uplink communication in a second part of the slot using a second subset of antennas. A decision to apply an intra slot antenna diversity scheme may be made by a network node such as a base station. Numerous other aspects are described.
