  • Methods and device for determining when to switch between multiple communication modes of a transceiver subsystem
    Patent number: 9479983
    Abstract: A communication device performs a method for determining when to switch between multiple communication modes of a transceiver subsystem. The method includes detecting an indication that a multimedia message is ready for transmission. The method also includes switching, by the transceiver subsystem in response to detecting the indication, from an infrastructure communication mode to a peer-to-peer communication mode, and transmitting the multimedia message in the peer-to-peer communication mode. The method further includes determining that the multimedia message transmission is complete, and switching, by the transceiver subsystem, back to the infrastructure communication mode in response to determining that the multimedia message transmission is complete.
