Method and apparatus for coexistence transceiver system

摘要

A coexistence system including first and second transceiver modules and an arbitration module. The first transceiver module generates a first request signal and operates according to a first wireless communication standard. The first request signal requests transmission or reception for the first transceiver module. The second transceiver module generates a second request signal and an overlap signal and operates according to a second wireless communication standard. The second request signal requests permission for the second transceiver module to transmit or receive. The overlap signal indicates whether desensitization is expected of a frequency of the first transceiver module or a frequency of the second transceiver module. The arbitration module (i) based on the overlap signal, arbitrates the first and second request signals, and (ii) based on the arbitration of the first and second request signals, selectively connect antennas to the first and second transceiver modules in one multiple configurations.

1. A coexistence system comprising:
a first transceiver module, in a first network device, configured to generate at least one first request signal, wherein the first transceiver module operates according to a first wireless communication standard, and wherein the at least one first request signal requests transmission or reception for the first transceiver module; a second transceiver module, in the first network device, configured to generate (i) at least one second request signal, and (ii) an overlap signal, wherein the second transceiver module operates according to a second wireless communication standard, wherein the at least one second request signal requests permission for the second transceiver module to transmit or receive, and wherein the overlap signal indicates whether (i) the transmission or reception of the second transceiver module is capable of desensitizing the first transceiver module with respect to a first frequency, or (ii) the transmission or reception of the first transceiver module is capable of desensitizing the second transceiver module with respect to a second frequency; an arbitration module configured to (i) based on the overlap signal, arbitrate the at least one first request signal and the at least one second request signal, and (ii) based on the arbitration of the at least one first request signal and the at least one second request signal, selectively connect antennas to the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module in one of plurality of configurations; and an interface connected between the first transceiver module and the arbitration module, wherein
the interface is configured to generate a synchronization signal based on the at least one first request signal,the synchronization signal indicates upload timing or download timing allocated to the first transceiver module, andthe second transceiver module is configured to align signal scheduling of the second transceiver module based on the upload timing or download timing.
