Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for improving user equipment performance by implementing antenna selection based on measurement of performance parameters of a plurality of antennas. In some embodiments, the antenna parameter measurements comprise radiated power. In other embodiments, the antenna parameter measurements comprise reflected power. In various embodiments, the antenna parameter measurements may be based on data from sensors that are operable to detect operational characteristics of the plurality of antennas based on the proximity of a portion of a user's body to the sensors. The antenna parameter measurements are then used to select one of the antennas within the plurality of antennas for transmitting and receiving data signals by a wireless communication device.
