Methods and apparatus for wireless device coexistence

摘要

Methods and apparatus for compensating for the effects of interference between multiple wireless communication apparatus. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a first wireless communication apparatus operating in a first band and a second wireless communication apparatus operating at least partly in the first band, where the second wireless communication apparatus operates according to a different communication protocol than the first wireless communication apparatus. Interference is compensated for between the first wireless communication apparatus and the second wireless communication apparatus by selecting and operating according to one of a plurality of operational protocols. In another embodiment, the first wireless communication apparatus and the second wireless communication apparatus operate in a closed-loop relationship to cooperatively compensate for communication interference.

主权项

1. A portable computerized apparatus, comprising:
a first wireless interface adapted to communicate wirelessly according to a first protocol; a second wireless interface adapted to communicate wirelessly according to a second protocol, said second wireless interface being disposed proximate said first wireless interface so that interference between said first wireless interface and said second wireless interface occurs when both are in operation; and apparatus adapted to selectively implement one or more operating policies of a plurality of operating polices, each of said plurality of operating policies associated with a particular range of interference, and said selection based at least in part on a measured interference value between said first wireless interface and said second wireless interface that meet a particular range of a respective operating policy, said one or more policies reducing effects of said interference over that obtained when said one or more policies are not implemented.
