METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING OPERATIONS OF A COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a communication device having a controller to provision a matching network that controls one or more operational characteristics of one of a receiver portion and a transmitter portion of the communication device according to a profile describing one or more characteristics of a communication system from which the communication device operates. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A wireless communication device comprising:
a matching network including a variable reactance element; and a controller coupled with the matching network for tuning of the matching network, wherein the controller performs operations comprising:
establishing a wireless communication link with a communication element that is remote from the wireless communication device;selecting a profile from among a plurality of profiles based on an identification of the communication element that corresponds to the selected profile, wherein each profile of the plurality of profiles includes an RF performance parameter, wherein the plurality of profiles does not include settings for the variable reactance element of the matching network;determining a tuning state for the matching network according to the RF performance parameter; andadjusting the variable reactance element according to the tuning state to perform impedance matching.
