Abstract: A method for reducing radiofrequency interference in a mobile communications device. The method includes receiving, by a first mobile communications device, a frequency message including a frequency band of a second mobile communications device. The method further includes determining, by an electronic processor of the first mobile communications device, whether the frequency band of the second mobile communications device conflicts with an operating frequency band of the first mobile communications device. The method further includes generating, by the electronic processor, an interference message, including a proposed mitigation action, when the frequency band conflicts with the operating frequency band. The frequency band and the operating frequency band each may be a long-term evolution frequency band or a land-mobile radio frequency band.

Abstract: Device and method for seamless workflow between mobile applications on portable device. One device includes a display and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to associate a set of applications to each other within a folder stored on the device and assign each application a priority relative to the other applications. The electronic processor is configured to receive a first user input selecting the folder and activate the set of applications in a background of an operating system of the portable device and present a first indication of a first application based on the priority of the first application relative to the other applications. The electronic processor is configured to receive a second user input; and navigate to a first indication of a second application based on the priority of the second application relative to the other applications and a navigation direction.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for mitigating interference between two communication sessions based on a determined geographical proximity of two mobile devices (MDs) to each other. In one embodiment, a geographical proximity is determined of a first MD, engaged in a first communication session, to a second MD, engaged in a second communication session. Based on the determined geographical proximity, one of the two communication sessions is transferred to the other MD so that both communication sessions are resident at, and can be controlled by, a same MD. In other embodiments, wherein a first MD is engaged in two communication sessions, one of the two communication sessions may be transferred to a second MD that is sufficiently geographically distant from the first MD or the first MD may use a geographically distant remote wireless device as an uplink and downlink relay device for one of the communication sessions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a communication system that includes a plurality of base stations. The method includes receiving a route, the route including an array of locations and times. The method further includes determining a plurality of modulation schemes by determining at least one modulation scheme for each of the plurality of base stations. The method further includes determining a quality of service having a guaranteed bit rate. The method further includes determining an allocation scheme based on the route, at least one of the plurality of modulation schemes, and the guaranteed bit rate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for scheduling transmission of uplink communication. One embodiment takes the form of a process carried out by a first-radio-access-network-(RAN) entity in a first RAN, where the first RAN has a first-RAN uplink that is time-synchronized with a second-RAN uplink of a second RAN. The first-RAN entity detects an uplink-scheduling event associated with a mobile radio, and the first-RAN entity also identifies a second-RAN-uplink-transmission time slot for the mobile radio. The first-RAN entity schedules the mobile radio to transmit first-RAN-uplink communication, which is associated with the detected uplink-scheduling event, during a first-RAN-uplink time slot that does not overlap the identified second-RAN-uplink-transmission time slot.
