1. A user equipment device (UE), comprising:
at least one antenna;
at least one radio, wherein the at least one radio is configured to perform cellular communication using at least one radio access technology (RAT);
one or more processors coupled to the at least one radio, wherein the one or more processors and the at least one radio are configured to perform communications;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the UE to:
monitor uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) data requirements;
determine, based on the monitoring, that an UL data requirement is substantially greater than a DL data requirement, including determining that, for a time period of at least ten seconds, the UL data requirement is greater than the DL data requirement by a predefined factor that is greater than two;
