  • Patent number: 9544011
    Abstract: A system for use in a mobile device comprises: a switch unit configured to switch a common connection of a transmitter and a first receiver from a first antenna to a second antenna and a connection of a second receiver from the second antenna to the first antenna; and a processing system configured to receive at least two reception signals from the first and second receivers; in response to receiving the two reception signals, evaluate a communication link via the first and second antennae; based on the evaluation of the communication link, determine that the transmitter needs to transmit via the second antenna; obtain reception parameters used by said first and second receivers; cause the switch unit to switch the common connection of the transmitter and a first receiver so that the transmitter transmits via the second antenna; and exchange reception parameters between the at least two receivers.

  • Patent number: 9319987
    Abstract: An apparatus for use in a mobile device includes a switch unit configured to switch a common connection of a transmitter and a first receiver from a first antenna to a second antenna and a connection of a respective second receiver from the second antenna to the first antenna; and a processing system configured to detect a switch condition that the transmitter needs to transmit via the second antenna, obtain power-related reception parameters of said first and said second receivers, cause the switch unit to switch the common connection of the transmitter and the first receiver so that the transmitter transmits via the second antenna, and adjust the power of the transmitter in dependence on the power-related reception parameters.

  • Patent number: 9288031
    Abstract: A switch arrangement comprises a first and second single pole switch. The pole of the first switch can selectively connect to a first and second path. The pole of the second switch can selectively connect to the first and second path. The first switch is configurable for a first mode of operation to connect a RF signal received at the pole to the first path to form a RF transmitter chain. The second switch is configurable for the first mode to connect the pole to the first path to form a RF receiver chain for receiving a RF signal. The first switch is configurable for a second mode to connect a RF signal received at the pole to the second path to form a second RF transmitter chain.
