Antenna switch diversity or cyclic delay diversity selection

A wireless communication device in a wireless communication network, comprising:

• a transceiver coupled to at least a first antenna and a second antenna;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
• obtain a plurality of parameters associated with communication by the wireless communication device over a wireless channel, wherein each of the plurality of parameters corresponds to a different channel estimation parameter associated with the wireless channel or a different communication parameter associated with at least one communication on the wireless channel;
• select a transmission mode based on a combination of the plurality of parameters, wherein the transmission mode comprises one of an antenna switch diversity mode or a cyclic delay diversity (CDD) mode;
• and
• transmit a signal using the selected transmission mode via the transceiver.

A wireless communication device in a wireless communication network, comprising:

• means for obtaining a plurality of parameters associated with communication by the wireless communication device over a wireless channel, wherein each of the plurality of parameters corresponds to a different channel estimation parameter associated with the wireless channel or a different communication parameter associated with at least one communication on the wireless channel;
• means for selecting a transmission mode based on a combination of the plurality of parameters, wherein the transmission mode comprises one of an antenna switch diversity mode or a cyclic delay diversity (CDD) mode;
• and
• means for transmitting a signal using the selected transmission mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors of a wireless communication device to:

• obtain a plurality of parameters associated with communication by the wireless communication device over a wireless channel, wherein each of the plurality of parameters corresponds to a different channel estimation parameter associated with the wireless channel or a different communication parameter associated with at least one communication on the wireless channel;
• select a transmission mode based on a combination of the plurality of parameters, wherein the transmission mode comprises one of an antenna switch diversity mode or a cyclic delay diversity (CDD) mode;
• and
• transmit a signal using the selected transmission mode.
