Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless device may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for a narrowband communication that provides time and frequency synchronization and/or scheduling information for an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication. The wireless device may transmit the narrowband communication in response to the LBT procedure being successful. The wireless device may transmit the UWB communication based at least in part on the time and frequency synchronization and/or scheduling information. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Aspects relate to wireless communication at a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may include a transmitter configured to communicate using a first communication protocol, a receiver configured to communicate using a second communication protocol, different from the first communication protocol, a first antenna coupled to the transmitter, a second antenna coupled to the receiver and physically separated from the first antenna by a variable distance. The wireless communication device transmits, via the first antenna, a first transmission within a first frequency range, and receives via the second antenna, a second transmission within a second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range. To receive the second transmission, the device may perform a radio frequency coexistence mitigation procedure based on the variable distance between the first antenna and the second antenna in response to detection of a concurrency in time between the first transmission and the second transmission.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are described that provide for communicating coexistence messages over a multi-drop serial bus. A method performed at a device coupled to a serial bus includes receiving first coexistence information directed to a first device coupled to the serial bus, generating a first coexistence message representative of the first coexistence information, converting the first coexistence message to obtain a first datagram including the first coexistence information, and transmitting the first datagram to the first device over the serial bus. The first coexistence message may be configured for communication through a point-to-point data link. The first datagram may be configured according to a first protocol associated with the serial bus.
Abstract:
System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Each device can contend for control of a communications link by driving a data signal to a first voltage level. If the data signal or a clock signal changes before an arbitration time period has elapsed, one or more devices yield control of the communications link to another contender. The arbitration time period for each contender is different and indicates a priority of the message to be transmitted. A shorter arbitration time period indicates higher priority. Arbitration may commence after clock and data signals of the communications link remain in an idle or other predefined state for a minimum idle time. The minimum idle time may be different for different nodes and may be shorter for high priority messages or nodes.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for concurrent wireless communications on multiple channels of the same frequency band. A wireless device determines when a first transceiver chain of the wireless device is to receive a first data signal. The wireless device then transmits a second data signal via a second transceiver chain of the wireless device based at least in part on the determination. The wireless device further suspends the transmission of the second data signal in response to the determination that the first transceiver chain is to receive the first data signal.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A wireless device may identify an upcoming interference period, determine a receive end time based on when the interference period will begin to disrupt incoming messages, and transmit a scheduling outlook message to a transmitter to schedule around the interference in response to receiving a packet (request-to-send (RTS) or data). The wireless device may hash a receiver address (RA) associated with the packet exchange message such as a clear-to-send message or a block acknowledgement to make room for the scheduling outlook message. An example scheduling outlook field (in the place of the full RA field) may include a shortened RA, a number of supported spatial streams, a supported bandwidth, a set of tone allocation units (TAUs), a receive end time (or receive duration), and an interference level.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, a receiver component, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may receive a first portion of a communication from a transmitter component via a wireless coexistence interface between the receiver component and the transmitter component; determine at least one of a radio access technology (RAT) identifier or a transmit operation based at least in part on the first portion of the communication; and at least one of: process a second portion of the communication based at least in part on the RAT identifier; or perform the transmit operation. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and computer-readable media for wireless communication may involve techniques for managing multi-user (MU) operation when a device in a wireless network has coexisting radios. Such techniques may involve identifying a change in a multiple radio access technology (RAT) coexistence status of a first device, e.g., a change between a coexistence status that is not disruptive to MU communications and one that is disruptive. For a device communicating with a network using Wi-Fi, the change in the multiple RAT coexistence status may indicate a change between inactive Bluetooth (BT) communications and active BT communications concurrent with Wi-Fi communications. Based at least in part on the identified change in the multiple RAT coexistence status, a MU communications operation at a second device may be adjusted, for example, by disabling MU communication between the first and second devices over a first RAT when the first device changes to a coexistence status that may disrupt MU communications.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to identify interference information associated with at least one traffic stream. The apparatus is further configured to transmit a message to an access point. The message includes a stream ID associated with the interference information and with the at least one traffic stream. The message includes the interference information, and the interference information includes an offset value and an interval/duration value.
