1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless communication device, network condition information from a communication element that is remote from the wireless communication device, wherein the network condition information does not include settings for a variable reactance element of a matching network of the wireless communication device;
selecting, by the wireless communication device, a profile from among a plurality of profiles based on an identification of the communication element, wherein each profile of the plurality of profiles includes tuning information for the matching network;
determining, by the wireless communication device, a desired operational metric according to the network condition information;
determining, by the wireless communication device, a relative position of a body part of a user and the wireless communication device;
determining, by the wireless communication device, a use case for the wireless communication device according to relative position of the body part of the user;
determining, by the wireless communication device, a tuning state for the matching network via the tuning information of the profile according to the desired operational metric and the use case; and
adjusting, by the wireless communication device, the variable reactance element according to the tuning state to perform impedance matching.
