Abstract
Embodiments herein enable user equipment to indicate that it may operate in a transmission diversity mode, but may fall back to a single transmission mode for a lower power class. In particular, if the user equipment will not fall back to a single transmission mode for a lower power class, then the base station configures uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the transmission diversity mode. Otherwise, the user equipment sends an indication to the base station that it will use the single transmission mode for the lower power class. The base station then configures uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the transmission diversity mode for the higher power class, and configures the uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the single transmission mode for the lower power class.
