Abstract
An apparatus comprising a transmit path, a plurality of local oscillators and a control unit. The control unit may be configured to: receive an upcoming resource block (RB) allocation; determine whether the upcoming RB allocation is the same as the current RB allocation; in response to determining that the upcoming RB allocation is different than the current RB allocation: select an unused LO of the plurality of LOs; determine whether a number of allocated RBs associated with the upcoming RB allocation is greater than a threshold; and in response to determining that the number of allocated RBs associated with the upcoming RB allocation is not greater than the threshold, tune the selected LO to a frequency corresponding to the upcoming RB allocation.
