Abstract:
Systems and techniques relating to wireless communications are described. A described technique includes performing, at a wireless communication device, an arbitration among multiple different wireless radio technologies, which collectively use two or more radio resources of the wireless communication device, to produce an arbitration result; and operating the two or more radio resources in accordance with the arbitration result. Performing the arbitration can include performing a first level arbitration between a request associated with a first technology of the multiple different wireless radio technologies and a request associated with a second technology of the multiple different wireless radio technologies to produce a first level result; and performing a second level arbitration to produce a second level result when indicated by the first level result. The arbitration result can be based on the first level result and the second level result, if any.
Abstract:
A network device including first, second and third transceiver modules, which transmit or receive first, second and third data signals. A control module generates a mask signal based on a parameter of the first, second or third transceiver modules. The mask signal includes a direction bit and a first channel that identifies a first frequency. The direction bit indicates a range of frequencies. Transmission on the first frequency and some of the range of frequencies causes desensitization of the second data signal. A hopping module, based on a clock signal, selects a second channel for the third data signal. An output module, based on the mask signal and the second channel, generates an overlap signal indicating whether potential desensitization of the first or third data signal exists. An arbitration module, based on the overlap signal, provides the first or third transceiver module access to a first or second switch module.
Abstract:
A coexistence system including first and second transceiver modules and an arbitration module. The first transceiver module generates a first request signal and operates according to a first wireless communication standard. The first request signal requests transmission or reception for the first transceiver module. The second transceiver module generates a second request signal and an overlap signal and operates according to a second wireless communication standard. The second request signal requests permission for the second transceiver module to transmit or receive. The overlap signal indicates whether desensitization is expected of a frequency of the first transceiver module or a frequency of the second transceiver module. The arbitration module (i) based on the overlap signal, arbitrates the first and second request signals, and (ii) based on the arbitration of the first and second request signals, selectively connect antennas to the first and second transceiver modules in one multiple configurations.
