Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described to compensate for radio frequency link imbalances in a wireless communication device. Processing circuitry in the wireless communication device detects a radio frequency link imbalance for a bi-directional communication link. The wireless communication device biases one or more operational parameters of the wireless communication device to adjust for a performance degradation induced by the radio frequency link imbalance. The wireless communication device determines whether a trigger condition for cell selection, reselection, or handover occurs based on the biased operational parameters, and when the trigger condition occurs, performs a remediating action to compensate for the radio frequency link imbalance. Remediation can include performing an intra-RAT or inter-RAT reselection or handover.
