Method and apparatus to facilitate support for multi-radio coexistence

摘要

A method of wireless communication includes receiving signaling from a served User Equipment (UE), via a radio access technology, indicating an interfering technology associated with coexistence issues experienced by the served UE. The method also includes calculating future subframes expected to experience coexistence issues based on previous subframes estimated to have experienced coexistence issues.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving signaling from a served User Equipment (UE), via a first radio access technology (RAT), indicating an interfering technology of a second RAT used by the served UE and associated with in-device coexistence issues with the first RAT experienced by the served UE, the signaling from the served UE not indicating which events of the first RAT were denied by the served UE due to the coexistence issues; in response to receiving the signaling from the served UE, estimating which of the events of the first RAT have been denied by the served UE due to the coexistence issues, the estimated events having been those denied by the served UE in arbitration between a first RAT radio and a second RAT radio of the served UE, the arbitration having allowed the second RAT radio to transmit or receive on the second RAT while forcing the first RAT radio to stop transmitting an uplink communications subframe or receiving a downlink communications subframe of the first RAT; and calculating future subframes of the first RAT expected to experience the in-device coexistence issues with the interfering technology of the second RAT at the served UE based on a periodicity of the previous subframes of the first RAT estimated to have been denied by the served UE.
