Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes monitoring coexistence issues among supported radios in a User Equipment (UE). The method includes determining a coexistence policy for communication resource operation within a user equipment (UE) and configuring communication resources of the user equipment in accordance with the determined coexistence policy. The policy may give priority to an LTE modem, an ISM modem, or may implement a variable priority scheme. The policy may be communicated to each modem from a host over a software messaging communication line. Modems in the UE may communicate with each other through logical lines providing real time communication. The policy may determine the operation of each modem and the treatment of the logical lines by each modem.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes monitoring coexistence issues among supported radios in a User Equipment (UE). The method includes configuring a UE with first and second filter configurations. The first filter configuration covers a first frequency band, for example a portion of the ISM band. The first filter configuration may be wider than the second filter configuration, which excludes a portion of the first frequency band that is adjacent to a proximate second frequency band, for example LTE Band 7 or LTE Band 40. The UE selects between the first and second filter configurations based on the frequency of a first UE event. If the UE event is in a frequency in the adjacent portion excluded by the second filter configuration, the UE arbitrates depending on event priority. The second filter configuration may be chosen to reduce or minimize arbitration.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method of receiving a transmission at a receiver. The method may include setting a receive window duration for receiving the transmission based on an elapsed time since last receiving a good transmission. The receive window duration may be a nonlinear function of the elapsed time. The method may further include opening a receive window to listen for the transmission for an amount of time equal to the set receive window duration.

Abstract: Interference between potentially conflicting radio access technologies (RATs) in a wireless device may be managed through a coexistence manager which allows communication using a first active RAT (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) and communication with a second active RAT (e.g., wireless local area network (WLAN)) when the first RAT is not scheduled for communicating during an uplink timeslot. Communications by a WLAN radio may be controlled using a power save mode. WLAN communications may be timed so that downlink signals (such as data or acknowledgement messages) to the WLAN radio are received during an inactive uplink subframe for an LTE radio. WLAN communications may also be timed so that downlink signals to the WLAN radio are received during downlink times scheduled for an LTE radio.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes partitioning coexistence tasks between short term policy setting tasks and policy implementing tasks, processing the short term policy setting tasks using a first set of computing resources, and processing the policy implementing tasks using a second set of computing resources. The first set may be software resources configured for slower execution of tasks and the second set may be hardware resources configured for just-in-time execution of tasks. The policy may determine a time after which a first radio event is not to be interrupted and granting or denying later events based on whether they would begin before or after the do-not-interrupt time. The do-not-interrupt time may be based on a weighted priority of the first radio event.

Abstract: Interference between potentially conflicting radio access technologies (RATs) in a wireless device may be managed through a coexistence manager. The coexistence manager allows a first active RAT to yield conflicting resources to a second idle RAT for purposes of receiving signals to allow proper operation by the second RAT. These signals may be, for example, paging signals to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio or beacons to a wireless local area network (WLAN) radio.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes determining a frame offset between communications of a first communication resource (e.g., an LTE radio) and communications of a second communication resource (e.g., a Bluetooth or WLAN radio). The method also includes determining potential time slot configurations for the communications of the second communication resource. A time slot configuration is selected from the determined potential time slot configurations, to reduce degradation of the first communication resource due to conflicting time slots between the first communication resource and the second communication resource, based on the determined frame offset. The selection may be based on the determined frame offset.

Abstract: A system and method to facilitate voice activity detection and coexistence manager decisions is provided and include identifying a connection utilizing a first resource and a content stream corresponding to the connection, where the first resource conflicts with a second resource. The content of the content stream is classified into multiple levels based on a value of the content and then a priority is assigned to the first and second resources based on the level of the content of the first resource.

Abstract: Various methods for controlling a device is disclosed including dynamically selecting a set of mappings defining how a gesture made by a movement of at least one wearable item will be interpreted as one or more commands; determining whether the gesture has a mapping in the set of mappings; and translating the gesture into a command for the device based on the determination. Interpreting movements of a wearable item as gestures associated with a command to control a controlled device is also disclosed that includes sensing a movement of the wearable item in context as being indicative of a gesture relating to the command based on the first context.

A state level arbiter determines state and relevant parameters of a WLAN module and of a Bluetooth module of a wireless transceiver unit.
