Claim:
1. A method, comprising: selecting, by a processor of a communication device, a target set of tuning settings from among a group of sets of tuning settings responsive to a target VSWR for the target set of tuning settings being a lowest VSWR among a group of VSWR, wherein the target set of tuning settings are for variable reactance elements of a matching network of the communication device, and wherein the group of sets of tuning settings is based on each set of tuning settings of the group of sets of tuning settings being positioned along a circumference of a VSWR circle that is associated with a VSWR determined during communications over a network; determining, by the processor, whether the target VSWR for the target set of tuning settings satisfies a VSWR threshold; responsive to a first determination that the target VSWR for the target set of tuning settings satisfies the VSWR threshold, adjusting the variable reactance elements of the matching network based on the target set of tuning settings; and responsive to a second determination that the target VSWR for the target set of tuning settings does not satisfy the VSWR threshold, adjusting the variable reactance elements of the matching network based on a default set of tuning settings that is not included in the group of sets of tuning settings.
