A method of controlling a system for transmitting data. The method includes transmitting data using a plurality of transmit paths, receiving at the access node a transmit power and an available transmit power of a wireless device, monitoring at the access node the received transmit power and the received available transmit power over a period of time, determining at the access node the received transmit power meets a first criteria and the received available transmit power meets a second criteria, and reducing transmit paths from the access node in response to determining the received transmit power meets the first criteria and the received available transmit power meets the second criteria.

Optimizing LTE transmit diversity implementation based on wireless device transmit power and power headroom

Systems, methods, and software for handling of frequency bands in neighbor lists in wireless communication devices are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a wireless communication device is presented which includes scanning a first frequency band of a source sector based on a neighbor list, and dropping the first frequency band of the source sector from an access list based on a first drop threshold included in the neighbor list. The method also includes scanning a second frequency band of the source sector and the second frequency band of a target sector based on the neighbor list, and adding the second frequency band of the source sector and the second frequency band of the target sector to the access list based on second and third add thresholds included in the neighbor list.
