  • Publication number: 20200305124
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that may allow for enhanced gain control for two radios. In an example method, a first radio may receive a wireless signal on a first frequency band, the wireless signal including at least a header and a payload. A first gain control operation may be performed based at least in part on information in the header of the wireless signal. A second radio may be determined to initiate a transmission on a second frequency coinciding with the first frequency band before reception of the wireless signal is completed, where the second radio is co-located with the first radio. A second gain control operation may be performed based at least in part on an expected interference associated with the transmission from the second radio, and one or more gain levels may be adjusted for reception of the wireless signal, based on the second gain control operation.

  • Patent number: 10063292
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer-readable media for wireless communication may involve techniques for managing multi-user (MU) operation when a device in a wireless network has coexisting radios. Such techniques may involve identifying a change in a multiple radio access technology (RAT) coexistence status of a first device, e.g., a change between a coexistence status that is not disruptive to MU communications and one that is disruptive. For a device communicating with a network using Wi-Fi, the change in the multiple RAT coexistence status may indicate a change between inactive Bluetooth (BT) communications and active BT communications concurrent with Wi-Fi communications. Based at least in part on the identified change in the multiple RAT coexistence status, a MU communications operation at a second device may be adjusted, for example, by disabling MU communication between the first and second devices over a first RAT when the first device changes to a coexistence status that may disrupt MU communications.
