Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for gap-based antenna measurement for antenna switch diversity, where there are fewer number of receivers or transmitters than the number of available antennas. The receivers may switch to additional antennas during a gap and switch back to the previous antennas. A device may select which antennas to use for communications based at least on measurements of additional antennas, thus supporting antenna switch diversity despite having fewer number of receiver chains.
