Publication number: 20150237643Abstract: According to an embodiment, a wireless communication apparatus includes a plurality of wireless devices configured to perform wireless communication using an identical frequency band. Each of the wireless devices includes a transmitting circuit, a receiving circuit, and a coexistence arbitrating circuit. The transmitting circuit is configured to transmit a wireless signal. The receiving circuit is configured to receive the wireless signal. The coexistence arbitrating circuits of the wireless devices arbitrate each other to determine the wireless device to which wireless communication priority is given. While a priority wireless device is in a transmission state or in a reception state, in each of the wireless devices that is in the transmission state other than the priority wireless device, the coexistence arbitrating circuit suspends operation of at least part of the transmitting circuit, or lowers an amplification factor of at least part of the transmitting circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2014Publication date: August 20, 2015Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventor: Keiji Tsunoda
