Various embodiments implemented on a mobile communication device (e.g., a multi-carrier-capable communication device) mitigate the degraded performance experienced by an aggressor subscription performing transmit blanking on an interfering carrier frequency during a coexistence event by leveraging the availability of a non-interfering carrier frequency. In various embodiments, the mobile communication device may signal the aggressor subscription's network to adjust resources granted to the interfering carrier frequency and the non-interfering carrier frequency to improve overall data throughput and/or to reduce the likelihood of reception problems, such as increased retransmission requests from the network and stalls/delays in sending subsequent transport blocks. If no change in resources is signaled by the network, the mobile communication device may reduce a size of transport blocks transmitted on the interfering carrier frequency. The mobile communication device may signal the network to return to normal resource allocations or transmit normal size transport blocks when the coexistence event ends.
