1. A method comprising:
- measuring, by a system including a processor, parameters associated with forward and reverse power during a transmission burst and between transmission bursts, wherein the system is integrated in a communication device;
comparing, by the system, at least a portion of the parameters to a threshold;
determining, by the system, whether the parameters are valid or invalid based on the comparing;
adjusting, by the system, a tunable reactance circuit of the communication device to a first tuning state according to the parameters responsive to a determination that the parameters are valid; and
adjusting, by the system, the tunable reactance circuit to a second tuning state responsive to a determination that the parameters are invalid, wherein the second tuning state is a last known tuning state for a use case of the communication device that was previously determined valid.

13. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a system including a processor, an existence of an interferer, wherein the system is integrated with a communication device; determining, by the system, a tuning state for a variable matching network of the communication device based on whether the interferer exists and based on parameters measured from a feedback configuration; adjusting, by the system, the variable matching network based on the tuning state when the interferer does not exist; and adjusting, by the system, the variable matching network based on a previously determined tuning state when the interferer does exist. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
