APPLICATION-AWARE MULTIPLE WIRELESS RADIO-ACCESS TECHNOLOGY COEXISTENCE SOLUTION AND TIME SHARING BETWEEN MULTIPLE RADIO-ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES FOR IN-DEVICE COEXISTENCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide user equipment (UE) configured to effectively manage a coexistence problem due to adjacent channel interference of multiple radio access technologies (RATs).SOLUTION: Individual controllers for managing wireless communications according to respective corresponding RATs communicate to each other expected data transfer patterns that take place over their respective communications links, including application-specific data transfer patterns and data transfer mechanism-specific data transfer patterns. The RAT controllers manage their respective data transfers according to the expected data-transfer patterns associated with the other RATs received from each in order to prevent data transmission by the device over one RAT interfering with data transmission of the device over another RAT link. The expected data pattern information is sent in messaging of a specific type with indexes determined based on a status of the data transfer mechanism and a connectivity status of the UE.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9
