Method and apparatus for frequency management

摘要

Disclosed are a method, apparatus, and system for managing frequency use in a system while engaged in multiple communications. When a wireless communication device (WCD) is engaging in a first communication on a first frequency, the WCD receives a request for the WCD to engage in a second communication. Responsive to receiving the request, the WCD hands off the first communication from the first frequency to a second frequency and engages in the second communication on the first frequency. The method may thereby help to reduce likelihood of interference.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
a wireless communication device (WCD) engaging in a first communication on a first frequency under a first cellular air interface protocol; while the WCD is engaged in the first communication on the first frequency, the WCD receiving a request for the WCD to engage in a second communication under a second cellular air interface protocol; and responsive to receiving the request, (i) the WCD handing off the first communication from the first frequency to a second frequency and (ii) the WCD engaging in the second communication on the first frequency, wherein the first frequency and the second frequency are different.
