Abstract: In a mobile device capable of wireless communications using multiple radio access technologies (RATs), transmit communications of one RAT may cause interference with receive communications of another RAT. In the case of wireless local area network (WLAN) communications, a CTS-to-Self message may control the timing of WLAN communications such that WLAN receptions do not overlap with transmissions of another RAT, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio. The CTS-to-Self message timing control may be executed by a mobile device operating as a WLAN access point.

Abstract: In a multi-radio user equipment, communications on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) radio operating in Wi-Fi mode may be aligned to reduce interference between the two radios. Communications of the WLAN radio may be aligned to the LTE radio using Notice of Absence (NoA) functionality.

Abstract: Interference between potentially conflicting radio access technologies (RATs) in a wireless device may be managed through a coexistence manager which allows communication using a first active RAT (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) and communication with a second active RAT (e.g., wireless local area network (WLAN)) when the first RAT is not scheduled for communicating during an uplink timeslot. Communications by a WLAN radio may be controlled using a power save mode. WLAN communications may be timed so that downlink signals (such as data or acknowledgement messages) to the WLAN radio are received during an inactive uplink subframe for an LTE radio. WLAN communications may also be timed so that downlink signals to the WLAN radio are received during downlink times scheduled for an LTE radio.

Abstract: A system and method to facilitate voice activity detection and coexistence manager decisions is provided and include identifying a connection utilizing a first resource and a content stream corresponding to the connection, where the first resource conflicts with a second resource. The content of the content stream is classified into multiple levels based on a value of the content and then a priority is assigned to the first and second resources based on the level of the content of the first resource.

Abstract: In a multi-radio user equipment, a power backoff or similar restraint may be placed on communications of a first radio, such as LTE, in order to protect operations of a second radio, such as Bluetooth, depending on the time remaining for completion of the communications of the second radio. Such protected operations may include paging or inquiry operations. A power backoff may be applied to an LTE radio in order to protect completion of the paging or inquiry operations. The power backoff may be increased as the time to completion of the paging or inquiry operations approaches.

Abstract: In a wireless communication device with multiple radio access technologies (RATs), frame timing for one RAT may be aligned with a frame timing of another RAT so as to reduce a number of communication frames of the different RATs that overlap in time with each other. The aligning reduces the number of communication frames that are subject to cancellation due to interference. Alignment may reduce a number of transmit frames of one RAT that overlap with multiple receive frames of another RAT. Alignment may reduce a number of receive frames of one RAT that overlap with multiple transmit frames of another RAT.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices synchronize data streams by hashing received data frames to generate a sequence of hash values, comparing the generated hash value sequence to a hash value sequence received in a control stream, and processing data frames when the hash value sequences match. A source device and multiple receiver devices may synchronize audio data encoded in data frames, applying a hash function to each data frame to generate a first sequence of hash values, transmitting the data frames on a first channel and the first sequence of hash values on a control channel, receiving the data frames and the first sequence of hash values in the receiver devices, applying the hash algorithm to received data frames to generate a second sequence of hash values, comparing the first and second sequences of hash values, and processing data frames when the first and second sequences of hash values match.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes partitioning coexistence tasks between short term policy setting tasks and policy implementing tasks, processing the short term policy setting tasks using a first set of computing resources, and processing the policy implementing tasks using a second set of computing resources. The first set may be software resources configured for slower execution of tasks and the second set may be hardware resources configured for just-in-time execution of tasks. The policy may determine a time after which a first radio event is not to be interrupted and granting or denying later events based on whether they would begin before or after the do-not-interrupt time. The do-not-interrupt time may be based on a weighted priority of the first radio event.

Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to improving NFC RF discovery through monitoring RF activity associated with one or more RATs. In one example, a first NFC device may be configured to use both a first RAT and NFC. The first NFC device may monitor RF activity on a first RAT to determine whether there is at least a greater probability that a second NFC device is within a threshold. The NFC device may be also configured to modify at least an interval between polling modes in a NFC RF discovery loop based on the determination.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for effectively and efficiently arbitrating concurrent usage between WLAN and Bluetooth access technologies for co-located wireless devices. A state level arbiter determines state and relevant parameters of a WLAN module and of a Bluetooth module of a wireless transceiver unit. The state level arbiter uses the state and relevant parameters to determine which access technology (WLAN or Bluetooth) or combination of the access technologies (WLAN or Bluetooth) will provide the best concurrent performance for wireless transmissions at a given time for specific Bluetooth states and WLAN states.

Abstract: Automatically discovering and re-establishing wireless connections to other devices in a mobile computing environment (MCE) may be achieved by monitoring connections of different devices with the UE, correlating the connections of the different devices, determining an MCE based on the correlations, and storing information associated with the MCE. A known MCE may accordingly be automatically detected based on an identification of at least one of the different devices, for example, and connection with one or more of the different devices may be automatically re-established to re-establish the MCE based on the stored information.

Abstract: To mitigate potential interference between radio access technologies (RATs) on a multi-RAT device, traffic scheduling rules may be implemented so that communications of the individual RATs are timed in a manner that reduces interference. For example, communications of a Bluetooth/WLAN RAT may be scheduled such that initial and responsive communications of the Bluetooth/WLAN RAT occur during sub-frames of an LTE RAT that are less likely to cause cross-RAT interference.

Abstract: In a mobile device, interference between different radio access technologies (RATs) may be pronounced in the presence of effects of non-linearity. To decrease interference and improve performance, a device may operate a RAT in an improved linearity mode based upon operating conditions of one or more RATs operating in the mobile device. A device may also operate a RAT in an improved noise-figure mode.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure provide techniques to mitigate interference on a multi-radio device by adjusting operation of multiple radio access technologies (RATs) based on communication event combinations. A coexistence manager may create a table of communication event combinations of multiple RATs that may result in cross-RAT interference. The table may include one or more potential coexistence management schemes to be applied in the event a particular communication event combination occurs. When faced with a particular communication event combination the coexistence manager may then reference the table, and apply a corresponding coexistence management scheme.
