Abstract: Embodiments pertain to systems, methods, and component devices for Tx-Tx transmit concurrency by combining signals before power amplification. One example embodiment includes validity check circuitry configured to check a transmission power for a Bluetooth signal against a first threshold transmission power, a Bluetooth Power Amplifier, and a WLAN power amplifier. A switching network controlled by the validity check circuitry and configured to couple the Bluetooth input to Bluetooth power amplifier input when the transmission power for the Bluetooth signal is above the first threshold transmission power and to couple the Bluetooth signal with a WLAN signal for input to the shared WLAN power amplifier when the transmission power for the Bluetooth signal is less than the first threshold transmission power.

Abstract: Techniques for employing channel inhibition (CI) with adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) in connection with Bluetooth (BT) are discussed. One example system employing such techniques comprises a BT master component operating on a plurality of channels via AFH; and a processor configured to: assign, based on a set of criteria, a first (e.g., ‘UNUSED’) status and a priority level to one or more channels, and a second (e.g., ‘USED’) status to each other channel; determine whether a total number of channels set as ‘USED’ is less than a minimum number of required channels; and in response to a determination that the total number of channels set as ‘USED’ is less than the minimum number, repeatedly assign a ‘USED’ status to a channel having a lowest priority level among channels with the ‘UNUSED’ status, until the total number of channels set as ‘USED’ equals the minimum number.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of controlling communications of a multi-radio device. For example, a multi-radio device may include a first radio to communicate over a first wireless network; a first controller to control the first radio; a second radio to communicate over a second wireless network; a second controller to control the second radio; and an interface to communicate signaling messages between the first and second controllers, wherein the first controller is to send to the second controller a request to transmit, the request to transmit indicating a request to allow the first radio to transmit over the first wireless network, and wherein the second controller is to assert a transmit-allowed signal over the interface to indicate that the request to transmit is granted, or to de-assert the transmit-allowed signal to indicate that the request to transmit is denied.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for dynamic scheduling of Bluetooth signals based at least in part on LTE schedules are disclosed. In some examples, Bluetooth can deduce information on the LTE DL/UL activity based at least in part on the LTE frame structure, LTE decision point or the LTE subframe boundary time. In some examples, Bluetooth scheduler can dynamically change the timing of the scheduling algorithm such that it may utilize the knowledge of LTE traffic and may at least partially avoid interference or evaluate the interference level.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein are directed to optimized decoding of in-band on-channel (IBOC) services, such as audio, traffic, and data associated with HD Radio™. Service information, such as service boundaries for one or more segments associated with IBOC services, may be identified and formatted for transmission to a receiver device. The receiver device may use the service boundaries to select or filter segments associated only with a service of interest from a bit stream of segments associated with one or more other services, according to one embodiment.

Abstract: A method and system for offline processing alert messages (AR) on a digital radio broadcast receiver is described. A digital radio broadcast signal is received at the digital radio broadcast receiver. AR receivers will constantly look for AR alerts at a periodic interval by monitoring the station information service (SIS) on Primary IBOC Data Service (PIDS) channel to maximize the battery life at the same time achieving a reasonable latency in receiving AR alerts.

Abstract: Embodiments may comprise radio data system logic to enter a sleep mode and wake periodically to receive a data packet. In several embodiments, the data packet is a Radio Data System (RDS) packet and the radio data system logic is RDS logic. Further embodiments may comprise radio data system logic to process the data packet to determine a first type field and to parse the first type field to identify a first indication. In several embodiments, parsing the data packet by the radio data system logic comprises parsing the data packet to determine a program type field and parsing the program type field to identify the first indication as an emergency alert indication. In response to identifying the first indication as a trigger, many embodiments wake up NRSC-5 compliant, In-band on-channel (IBOC) radio logic to process an Active Radio message to output information associated with the first indication.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods and apparatus for decoding in-band on-channel signals and extracting audio and data signals. Memory requirements are reduced by selectively filtering a bit stream of data in the signal so that services of interest which are encoded therein are processed. A single pool of memory may be shared between physical layer and data link layer processing. Memory in this pool may be allocated dynamically between processing of data at the physical and data link layers. When the available memory is not sufficient to support the required services, the dynamic allocation allows for graceful degradation.
