Abstract: A device and method are provided for concurrently using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) to support a wireless-enabled communications session. A set of data is processed at a client node to identify a subset of priority data. The set of data and the subset of priority data are respectively provided to a first and second protocol stack, which correspond to a first and second RAT. The first and second protocol stacks are then used to control the transmission of a first and second set of transmitted data, which in turn respectively comprise the set of data and the subset of priority data. The first and second sets of transmitted data are received by an access node, which uses corresponding first and second protocol stacks to control their reception. The first and second sets of transmitted data are then processed to generate a set of received data.

Abstract: For each access point in a first network of a first type, a mobile device identifies a frame error rate of communications. The frame error rate is measured while simultaneously communicating with a second network of a second type. The mobile device stores the frame error rate in association with an access point identifier of the access point. Upon encountering, the first network again, the mobile device prioritizes the selection of an access point based on a ranking of the access points according to their associated frame error rates from lowest to highest. Further, the mobile device may use adjusted hysteresis parameters for making a handover decision in order to reduce a “ping-pong” selection between access points. Additionally or alternatively, the mobile device may select or suggest a channel of the access point based on a signal strength of signals from the second network.

Abstract: A mobile device having first and second RF transceivers performs a communication function in accordance with a communication protocol of the second RF transceiver. During performance of this function, the mobile device estimates the RF interference on a channel of the first RF transceiver, and stores parameters which characterize the estimated RF interference in association with an identifier corresponding to the function. These actions are repeated for a plurality of channels of the first RF transceiver, as well as for a plurality of different communication functions. When performing a communication function again, the mobile device receives an identifier corresponding to the function and retrieves stored parameters corresponding to the received identifier. The mobile device applies the retrieved parameters to the first RF transceiver for reducing the adverse effect of RF interference during reception on the channel of the first RF transceiver.
