  • Patent number: 8265712
    Abstract: A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modules integrated within the same wireless communication device. In at least one embodiment of the present invention, time may be allocated for use in communicating over one or more wireless communication mediums. This time may be allocated based on a determination that a maximum power usage threshold will not be exceeded, and that potential communication conflicts may be avoided, over a period of time. The allocation may result in an operational schedule that may be utilized by radio modules in the wireless communication device that support the one or more wireless communication mediums.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8107880
    Abstract: A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modules integrated within the same wireless communication device. In at least one embodiment of the present invention, time may be allocated for use in communicating over one or more wireless communication mediums. The allocated time may take the form of timeslots. The timeslots may be dedicated or shared timeslots, the type of timeslot affecting the behavior of each wireless communication medium. Use of shared timeslots may, for example, be determined locally to the radio modules based on a relative priority between the wireless communication mediums sharing the timeslot.

  • Patent number: 7778603
    Abstract: A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modems contained within the same wireless communication device. The radio modems may be managed so that simultaneous communication involving two or more radio modems utilizing conflicting wireless communication mediums may be avoided. More specifically, a multiradio controller may identify when scheduled communication time in a radio modem using a more dominant, or high priority, wireless communication medium will in actually go unused, and may reallocate some or all of the now available scheduled time to radio modems using a lower priority wireless communication medium that have messages to transact.

  • Patent number: 7626973
    Abstract: Systems and methods that are adapted to avoid radio frequency interference originating from modules, peripherals and interconnects of a mobile terminal that are generating unintentional radiation (e.g. memory cards, camera flashes, data buses etc.) and coupling to the radios of the same mobile terminal are disclosed. The systems may include a controller unit that schedules the operation of the components to avoid concurrent operation of radios and sensitive peripheral devices which may interfere with each other during concurrent operation.

  • Publication number: 20090186573
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first communicator for communicating a first indicator in a first signal line, a second communicator for communicating a second indicator in a second signal line upon the communication of the first indicator in the first signal line, and a controller for control, by using the first and second signal lines, participation in one or more phases of a priority determination cycle for determination of a radio device having an access right to a resource.

  • Publication number: 20080291830
    Abstract: A system for managing the operation of one or more of wireless communication mediums supported by one or more radio modules integrated within a WCD. A control strategy may be employed to evaluate and manage pending communication activity down to the wireless message stream level through the creation of operational schedules. The operational schedules may be utilized by the one or more radio modules in the WCD in order to determine how resource usage should be allocated for supporting the communication activities conducted over a radio module.

  • Publication number: 20080279137
    Abstract: A system for managing the operation of a plurality of wireless communication mediums supported by one or more radio modules integrated within a wireless communication device. A control strategy may be employed to regulate the operation of at least one wireless communication medium operating in a continuous mode, such as an discovery or inquiry mode, so as not to conflict with other active communication occurring substantially simultaneously within the wireless communication device. The regulation may occur in the one or more radio modules, and may include rescheduling part of, or alternatively a whole, discovery hop train.
