  • Patent number: 8744502
    Abstract: Various arrangements for mapping antennas to transceivers are presented. A plurality of antennas may be present. Each antenna of the plurality of antennas may be configured to communicate using different radio technologies. A plurality of transceivers may be present. At least some of the transceivers of the plurality of transceivers may be configured to utilize different radio technologies. A selector circuit may be present that is configured, based on input from a processor, to map each antenna of the plurality of antennas with each transceiver of the plurality of transceivers. The processor may be configured to control which antennas of the plurality of antennas are mapped to which transceiver of the plurality of transceivers. Touch sensors may be used to determine which antenna or antennas are likely to serve as effective electromagnetic transducers. Signal-to-noise measurements may be used to determine when to modify an antenna mapping.

  • Publication number: 20120329410
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and apparatuses are provided for detecting that a temperature of at least a portion of a mobile device is above a mitigation threshold, adjusting transmit power, used on a first channel by said mobile device, by a first backoff amount during a first backoff interval, based, at least in part, on said detected temperature. Further included is suppressing a transmission during a response interval used on a second channel by said mobile device.
