Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for a user equipment (UE) to share unused antennas dedicated or configured for a one radio access technology (RAT) for communications with a network entity of another RAT. The UE may communicate, via a first set of antennas using a first RAT. The UE may also communicate, via a second set of antennas, using a second RAT. To share the one or more antennas dedicated or configured for the second RAT, the UE may transmit, to the network entity of the first RAT, an indication of a capability to switch the second set of antennas from the second RAT to the first RAT. The UE may communicate with the network entity of the first RAT via the first set of antennas and via the second set of antennas.
