  • Patent number: 11589376
    Abstract: A multi-radio device includes two or more radio subsystems coupled to a packet traffic arbitration (PTA) module. The PTA module receives a first request for radio communication from a first radio subsystem, where the first request indicates a first usage duration. After granting the first request, the PTA module receives a second request for radio communication from a second radio subsystem. The second request indicates a second usage duration. The PTA module sends a rejection of the second request to the second radio subsystem, where the rejection indicates a remaining time of the first usage duration.

    Abstract: A method for Co-Reception (Co-Rx) operation of multiple transceiver radios sharing the same antenna and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is provided. A first receiver radio of a wireless communication device determines the first gain mode of an LNA based on the first signal indicator. A second receiver radio of the wireless communication device determines the second gain mode of the LNA based on the second signal indicator.

  • Publication number: 20220361099
    Abstract: A transmitter including two radio transceivers and a controller is provided. The first radio transceiver supports a first number of Spatial Streams (SS) for a first Transmission (Tx) opportunity of wireless transmission to a receiver. The second radio transceiver supports a second number of SS for a second Tx opportunity of wireless transmission to the receiver. The first Tx opportunity starts earlier than the second Tx opportunity. The controller determines whether the power consumption of SS utilization in the first and second Tx opportunities exceeds a threshold, and if so, performs one of the following: deferring the second Tx opportunity until the first Tx opportunity ends; and aborting the first Tx opportunity when the second Tx opportunity starts.
