1. A method comprising:

  • obtaining, by a system of a wireless communication device, a usage condition associated with operation of the wireless communication device, the usage condition being obtained by a processor of the wireless communication device;

    selecting, by the system, a first subset of use cases from a group of use cases based on the usage condition;

    determining, by the system, a first operational parameter associated with a transceiver of the wireless communication device, the first operational parameter being determined from first parametric measurements collected during the operation of the wireless communication device, wherein the first operational parameter is not an operational mode of the wireless communication device and is not a wireless protocol;

    selecting, by the system, a target use case from among the first subset of use cases based on the first operational parameter;

    tuning, by the system, an impedance matching network of the wireless communication device based on the target use case;

    determining, by the system, a second operational parameter associated with the transceiver, the second operational parameter being determined from second parametric measurements collected during the operation of the wireless communication device, wherein the second operational parameter is not the operational mode of the wireless communication device and is not the wireless protocol;

    comparing, by the system, the second operational parameter to a threshold; and

    selecting, by the system, a second subset of use cases from the group of use cases responsive to a determination that the second operational parameter does not satisfy the threshold,wherein the first and second operational parameters are different.
