  • Systems and methods for silent period operation during wireless communication
    Patent number: 10477470
    Abstract: A method for wireless communication is described. The method includes receiving a silent indication (SID) start message from a modem at a Bluetooth (BT) module when the modem detects a silent period in a voice call. The method also includes sending the SID start message from the BT module to a remote BT device. The method further includes disabling a BT transmitter during the silent period based on the SID start message received from the modem.

  • WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) SELECTION FOR LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) - WLAN AGGREGATION (LWA)
    Publication number: 20180295572
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selection of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Access Point (AP) for Long Term Evolution (LTE)-WLAN aggregation (LWA) is provided. A Station (STA) receives information from at least one WLAN AP of a plurality of WLAN APs in the STA's vicinity, the information being indicative of a capability of the at least one WLAN AP to support LWA. The STA selects one of the plurality of WLAN APs for connection with the STA in LWA configuration, based at least on the received information.
