Techniques for protecting radio frequency front-end components

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• establishing a first communication associated with a first priority, wherein the first communication is associated with a first subscriber in a connected mode, the first communication is ongoing;
• establishing a second communication associated with a second priority, wherein the second communication is associated with a second subscriber in the connected mode, the first priority is higher than the second priority;
• identifying one or more components shared between the first communication and the second communication, wherein the one or more components are included in a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) of the UE, are switchable between the first subscriber and the second subscriber, and include at least one of:
• a transmit/receive (TRX) switch,
• a low noise amplifier (LNA), or
• a cross-switch;
• and
• performing at least one of the first communication or the second communication using a configuration to prevent damage to the one or more components of the UE based at least in part on the one or more components being shared between the first communication and the second communication, wherein performing of at least one of the first communication or the second communication using the configuration to prevent damage to the one or more components comprises:
• preventing the TRX switch from switching to a state associated with the second communication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• establish a first communication associated with a first priority, wherein the first communication is associated with a first subscriber in a connected mode, the first communication is ongoing;
• establish a second communication associated with a second priority, wherein the second communication is associated with a second subscriber in the connected mode, the first priority is higher than the second priority;
• identify one or more components shared between the first communication and the second communication, wherein the one or more components are included in a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) of the UE, are switchable between the first subscriber and the second subscriber, and include at least one of:
• a transmit/receive (TRX) switch,
• a low noise amplifier (LNA), or
• a cross-switch;
• and
• perform at least one of the first communication or the second communication using a configuration to prevent damage to the one or more components of the UE based at least in part on the one or more components being shared between the first communication and the second communication, wherein perform of at least one of the first communication or the second communication using the configuration to prevent damage to the one or more components comprises:
• prevent the TRX switch from switching to a state associated with the second communication.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for establishing a first communication associated with a first priority, wherein the first communication is associated with a first subscriber in a connected mode, the first communication is ongoing;
• means for establishing a second communication associated with a second priority, wherein the second communication is associated with a second subscriber in the connected mode, the first priority is higher than the second priority;
• means for identifying one or more components shared between the first communication and the second communication, wherein the one or more components are included in a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) of the apparatus, are switchable between the first subscriber and the second subscriber, and include at least one of:
• a transmit/receive (TRX) switch,
• a low noise amplifier (LNA), or
• a cross-switch;
• and
• means for performing at least one of the first communication or the second communication using a configuration to prevent damage to the one or more components of the UE based at least in part on the one or more components being shared between the first communication and the second communication, wherein the means for performing of at least one of the first communication or the second communication using the configuration to prevent damage to the one or more components further comprises:
• means for preventing the TRX switch from switching to a state associated with the second communication.
