Abstract:
Techniques for employing channel inhibition (CI) with adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) in connection with Bluetooth (BT) are discussed. One example system employing such techniques comprises a BT master component operating on a plurality of channels via AFH; and a processor configured to: assign, based on a set of criteria, a first (e.g., ‘UNUSED’) status and a priority level to one or more channels, and a second (e.g., ‘USED’) status to each other channel; determine whether a total number of channels set as ‘USED’ is less than a minimum number of required channels; and in response to a determination that the total number of channels set as ‘USED’ is less than the minimum number, repeatedly assign a ‘USED’ status to a channel having a lowest priority level among channels with the ‘UNUSED’ status, until the total number of channels set as ‘USED’ equals the minimum number.

Abstract:
A mobile device may include a Short Range radio communication subsystem and a Cellular Wide Area radio communication subsystem. The Short Range radio communication master subsystem may include a processing circuit configured to identify a first plurality of channels, assign a blocking priority to one or more of the first plurality of channels, identify a second plurality of channels occupied by the Cellular Wide Area radio communication subsystem, and select a third plurality of channels from the first plurality of channels based on the blocking priority of the first plurality of channels and the frequency distance between each of the first plurality of channels and each of the second plurality of channels, and a radio transceiver configured to apply the third plurality of channels to transmit or receive data on a Short Range radio communication network.
