Abstract:
A mobile communications device supporting operation on a first wireless technology and a second wireless technology with a wireless module and a controller module is provided. The wireless module performs wireless transceiving to and from a first base station of a first wireless technology and a second base station of a second wireless technology. The controller module transmits a control message prior to the starting of a uplink transmission period of the first wireless technology via the wireless module to occupy the uplink transmission period of the first wireless technology so as to allow transmission of signals of the second wireless technology during the uplink transmission period of the first wireless technology, wherein the first wireless technology is a long term evolution (LTE) technology and the second wireless technology is a WiFi technology.
Abstract:
A UE controls in-device coexistence (IDC) indication message generation to mitigate potential throughput impact on UE to maintain UE performance as much as possible. Under the proposed method, FDM-based solution is always preferred by the UE. Based on the IDC indication message generated by the UE, a network applies an IDC interference mitigation solution that prioritizes FDM-based solution. Specifically, the UE first sends an IDC message requesting FDM-based solution. In case the serving eNB does not respond, the UE sends a new IDC message by alternating IDC option. Even if a TDM-based solution has been received, the UE may continue requesting FDM-based solution to gain UE performance.
Abstract:
A time division multiplex system has a client communications device and an external communications device. The client communications device has a first radio activity schedule. The external communications device has a second radio activity schedule. When the client communications device detects the second radio activity schedule, the client communications device reschedules the first radio activity schedule according to the second radio activity schedule.
Abstract:
A method of fast link adaptation for Bluetooth long-range wireless networks is provided. A novel rate indication (RI) field is incorporated in a data packet to enable auto detection of rate adaptation at the receiver side. The data packet comprises a preamble, a first packet portion including the RI field, and a second packet portion including the PDU. The first packet portion is encoded with a first rate while the second packet portion is encoded with a second rate indicated by the RI field. The transmitting device raise/lower the encoding rate when the link quality is good/poor. The receiving device can provide recommended rate or link quality feedback information via an LMP message to help the transmitting device making rate adaptation decision. The transmitter can unilaterally decide the data rate for the second packet portion without receiver recommendation.
Abstract:
Methods for preventing coexistence interference between a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio and a collocated LTE radio are provided. In a first solution, the BLE radio adds padding bytes to BLE packets such that the total packet length falls in a specific range to prevent coexistence interference. In a second solution, the BLE radio limits the total BLE packet length to a predefined length to prevent coexistence interference. In a third solution, the data rate for transmitting the BLE packets is higher than a predefined rate to prevent coexistence interference. In a fourth solution, the BLE radio dynamically adjusts the time inter-frame-spacing (T_IFS) value to prevent coexistence interference with the collocated LTE radio.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device has a first wireless communication module coupled to a second wireless communication module via only one wire. The first wireless communication module is configured to performing a first wireless transceiving and to send a first request to the second wireless communication module indicating a remaining period of time to perform a second wireless transceiving, during which the first wireless communication module is not required to perform wireless transceiving. The second wireless communication module is configured to perform a second wireless transceiving, the second wireless communication module further configured to send a first response to the first request by indicating acceptance of the request if a status of the second wireless communication module is in an active mode, else by indicating that the first request is not accepted if the status of the second wireless communication module is in a sleep mode.
