Methods and apparatus for dynamic wireless device coexistence

摘要

Methods and apparatus for dynamically compensating for the effects of interference between multiple wireless communications 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 in the same first band (or proximate to the first band and with a comparatively high transmitter power), where the second wireless communication apparatus operates according to a different communication protocol than the first wireless communication apparatus and further change in physical configuration with respect to one another. Based on the physical configuration, interference is compensated for between the first wireless communication apparatus and the second wireless communication apparatus “on the fly” by selecting and operating according to one of a plurality of operational protocols.

1. A method of mitigating the interference between multiple wireless interfaces disposed substantially within a device having a plurality of physical configurations, the method comprising:
detecting a change from one of the plurality of physical configurations to another, the change comprising a displacement of a first portion of the device relative to a second portion, the plurality of physical configurations being indicated by a dynamically sized state parameter representing one of a plurality of granular states; based on the changed physical configuration of the device from one granular state to another granular state, adopting a co-existence scheme; and when the detected displacement meets at least one criterion:
assuming, without measuring, a change to at least one radio interference parameter; andoperating the device according to the co-existence scheme which reduces the at least one radio interference parameter.
