  • Publication number: 20160381647
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160381641
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160381692
    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of communication by co-located wireless communication modules. For example, a device may be configured to receive a latency attribute indicating an allowed latency to transmit a packet using one or more shared resources shared between a plurality of wireless communication modules; receive a first priority level indicating a first transmission priority of the packet; increase the first priority level to a second priority level based on a comparison between the allowed latency and a time from reception of the latency attribute; and send the second priority level to an arbitration module, the second priority level to indicate to the arbitration module a second transmission priority to transmit the packet using the shared resources.

  • Publication number: 20160381572
    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.

  • Patent number: 9532370
    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.

  • Patent number: 9467260
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160286554
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for dynamic scheduling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals are disclosed. In some examples, a wireless device may receive a transmission request for transmitting a Wi-Fi signal from a Wi-Fi device or interface, receive a transmission request for transmitting a Bluetooth signal from a Bluetooth device or interface, determine a delta between a frequency of the Wi-Fi signal and a frequency of the Bluetooth signal, and deny transmission of the Wi-Fi signal or the Bluetooth signal based, at least in part, on the delta determination.

  • Patent number: 9392545
    Abstract: Some embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and devices for power-efficient data transfer between two communicating devices. The two devices establish two wireless links between each other; the first link using a low-power/low-throughput protocol and utilized to maintain a second link, the second link using a high-power/high-throughput protocol. When first device data is available for transmission, the first device instructs the second device via the first link to switch to the second link for data reception. The first device then transmits data to the second device via the second link. When the transmission is complete, both devices switch back to using the first link to maintain their connection to each other. In some embodiments, the first device may be a Human Interface device and the second device may be a Bluetooth controller of a computing device.
