Mobile wireless communications device providing enhanced interference mitigation from wireline transmitter and related methods

摘要

A mobile wireless communications device may include a housing, a wireless receiver carried by the housing and configured to receive communication signals over a wireless frequency range, a wireline transmitter carried by the housing and configured to transmit communication signals at a frequency overlapping the wireless frequency range, and a controller carried by the housing and coupled with the wireless receiver and the wireline transmitter. The controller may be configured to determine when the wireless receiver is to begin receiving and, based thereon, switch the wireline transmitter to a suspended communication mode during which transmission is disabled. The controller may also be configured to determine when the wireless receiver has completed receiving and, based thereon, switch the wireline transmitter to a normal communication mode in which transmission is enabled.

1. A mobile wireless communications device comprising:
a housing; a wireless receiver carried by said housing and configured to receive communication signals over a wireless frequency range; a wireline transmitter carried by said housing and configured to transmit communication signals overlapping in frequency with the wireless frequency range; and a controller carried by said housing and coupled with said wireless receiver and said wireline transmitter, wherein the controller performs operations comprising:
receiving an indication of an incoming communication signal,responsive to the indication, determining a first time corresponding to when said wireless receiver is to begin receiving the communication signal,prior to the first time, generating a first control signal to switch said wireline transmitter to a suspended communication mode wherein transmission is disabled,determining a second time corresponding to when said wireless receiver has completed receiving the communication signal, andsubsequent to the second time, generating a second control signal to switch said wireline transmitter to a normal communication mode wherein transmission is enabled,wherein said wireline transmitter enters the suspended communication mode during a first interval beginning when the first control signal is generated and ending at the first time, and enters the normal communication mode after a second interval beginning at the second time and ending when the second control signal is generated.
