TIME DOMAIN COEXISTENCE OF RF SIGNALS

摘要

Various methods and systems are provided for time domain coexistence of RF signals. In one example, among others, a method includes obtaining access to a WLAN channel during a free period of a coexisting cellular connection, providing a RDG to allow another device to transmit for a duration corresponding to at least a portion of a TXOP, and receiving a transmission during the duration. In another example, a method includes obtaining access to a WLAN channel during a transmission period of a coexisting cellular connection and providing a protection frame to defer transmissions from another device for a duration corresponding to at least a portion of a TXOP. In another example, a method includes determining a shift of a BT transaction based at least in part upon a schedule of cellular communications and shifting at least a portion of the BT transaction based upon the determined shift.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a communication device supporting coexisting Bluetooth (BT) and cellular communications, a shift associated with a BT receive-transmit (RX-TX) transaction to avoid a concurrent BT RX with a cellular TX and a concurrent BT TX with a cellular RX, the shift based at least in part upon a schedule for the cellular communications; and shifting at least a portion of the BT RX-TX transaction based upon the determined shift.
