Original Abstract Submitted
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for adaptive antenna mode switching. An example method performed by a wireless device includes reporting first capability information indicating that the wireless device supports a first antenna mode associated with a first number of receive antennas, detecting radio conditions that favor a second antenna mode associated with a second number of receive antennas, and performing one or more actions to cause a switch to the second antenna mode based on the detected radio conditions.
