Abstract

A method for antenna switching is described. The method includes transmitting using a first antenna. The method also includes determining that a trigger occurs to switch to transmitting using a second antenna. The trigger is based on a combination of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) maximum transmit power level (MTPL) counter and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) MTPL counter. The method further includes switching to transmitting using the second antenna based on the determination.
