Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented to facilitate coexistence between multiple wireless communication protocols implemented by a wireless communication device, by dynamically adjusting priority between the two protocols. The wireless communication device may typically favor a first protocol (e.g. Bluetooth/BTLE), prioritizing resource requests by the first protocol. In certain use cases, the first protocol may demand high resource usage for an extended time, particularly for newer tracking and wearable devices, such as location tags, watches, headsets, etc. Such applications can disrupt existing use cases for a second protocol (e.g., Wi-Fi). Therefore, the wireless communication device may dynamically determine whether the second protocol is performing critical operations, such as latency-sensitive applications or high-performance operations. If so, the wireless communication device may allocate resources accordingly in real time, e.g.

Abstract: A satellite positioning system comprises a plurality of mobile clients that can move in and out of a wireless service area. Such area is more or less fixed and supported by a base station, e.g., a mobile telephone cell. The service area and/or the base station is associated with an identity code that can be queried. Each mobile client includes an autonomous GPS receiver that does not require aiding information to produce a position fix, but will produce such fix quicker and at higher sensitivity if aiding information is supplied. A local memory is used to store a limited number of cell-ID identity codes associated with previously determined positions for those sites. The mobile clients further include a cellular telephone that can support Internet access to a mobile aiding server. An ID-registration database is used to collect aiding information collected and contributed in the past by other mobile clients.
