  • Patent number: 9985481
    Abstract: Wireless charging, such as that conducted according to standards formed by the AirFuel Alliance and/or various other industry standards for wireless charging, can cause interference with data transfer on a cellular modem of a mobile device. Systems, devices, and methods herein provide power breaks where a power transmitter unit (PTU) will stop generating an electromagnetic field used to charge a power receiver unit (PRU). During the power break, the mobile device can send or receive data over the cellular modem with less or no interference from the wireless charging operations. If the PTU cannot provide a power break, the PRU de-tunes a receive resonator circuit in the PRU to mitigate the interference from the wireless charging operations. Further, the power breaks can also be used by PTUs to scan for near field communication (NFC) tags or devices that could be damaged by wireless charging activities.

  • Patent number: 9900852
    Abstract: Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of interference mitigation in a receiver of a portable device. A preemptive-automatic gain control (AGC) system mitigates a collocated or external interfering signal in a receiver of a portable device. The receiver of the portable device receives and processes a data packet of a first radio frequency (RF) signal that includes a Bluetooth (BT) signal, a Wi-Fi signal, a near field communications (NFC), 3G, 4G, or the like. During the processing of the data packet, a collocated or an external second RF signal is detected and received by the receiver. The second RF signal includes an interfering Bluetooth (BT) uplink transmission, a near field communications (NFC) transmission signal, a Wi-Fi transmission signal, 3G or 4G uplink transmission, an LTE signal, or the like.

  • Patent number: 9743220
    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.
