The disclosure relates to a method for mitigating interference of a first radio signal received by a first transceiver of a first radio access technology (RAT) due to transmission of a second radio signal by a second transceiver of a second RAT, wherein the first transceiver and the second transceiver are physically collocated on a same device. The method includes: pre-setting a power of the second radio signal based on a throughput performance requirement for the first radio signal before transmission of the second radio signal, and tuning the power of the second radio signal during transmission of the second radio signal based on estimating the interference of the first radio signal.

A radio communication device is provided comprising a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a Cellular Wide Area radio communication technology; a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a Short Range radio communication technology or a Metropolitan Area System radio communication technology; a first processor configured to control the first transceiver, the first processor comprising a first interface and a second interface; a second processor configured to control the second transceiver, the second processor comprising a first interface and a second interface; and a third processor configured to determine real-time transceiver control information signals via the first interface of the first processor and via the first interface of the second processor, and to determine non-real-time transceiver control information signals via the second interface of the first processor and via the second interface of the second processor.

According to an aspect of this disclosure, a radio communication device is provided including a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a Cellular Wide Area radio communication technology; a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a Short Range radio communication technology; a first processor configured to control the first transceiver to receive and transmit data packets in accordance with a first data transmission frame; a second processor configured to control the second transceiver to receive and transmit data packets in accordance with a second data transmission frame; wherein the first processor is further configured to control the first transceiver such that the first transceiver does not transmit a data packet during at least a time period provided for a first transmission of a respective data packet transmitted by the second transceiver in accordance with the second data transmission frame.

Methods, devices and systems for dynamic scheduling of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals based at least in part on LTE schedules are disclosed. In some examples, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth can perform coexistence decisions including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth channel or Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) selection based on modem calculated Rx or Tx indications and device geo location, maximum allowed transmit power per channel for Wi-Fi, and the LTE modem connection state.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of controlling communications of a multi-radio device. For example, a multi-radio device may include a cellular controller to control communication of a cellular radio; and a BT controller to control a transmission power of a BT radio according to a first power level, the BT controller is to receive from the cellular controller an indication of a cellular downlink period, and, during the cellular downlink period, to restrict a transmission power of at least one BT discovery packet to no more than a second power level, which is less than the first power level.

Apparatus, method and system of controlling communications of a multi-radio device

Embodiments of system, device, and method configurations for managing inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) mobility of handovers between a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) or GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) and an evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) to avoid scenarios of in-device coexistence (IDC) interference are disclosed herein. In one example, the existence and types of IDC interference with an E-UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE)/Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) network are determined and communicated to the UTRAN/GERAN in an IDC indication signal. The IDC indication signal may communicate the existence and type of IDC interference occurring at user equipment, such as between licensed LTE/LTE-A and unlicensed industrial scientific medical (ISM) radio frequency bands. Accordingly, the UTRAN/GERAN may use information provided from the IDC indication signal to prevent a handover to the E-UTRAN that would result in IDC interference.

Inter-RAT mobility of in-device coexistence

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of controlling communications of a multi-radio device. For example, a multi-radio device may include a first radio to communicate over a first wireless network; a first controller to control the first radio; a second radio to communicate over a second wireless network; a second controller to control the second radio; and an interface to communicate signaling messages between the first and second controllers, wherein the first controller is to send to the second controller a request to transmit, the request to transmit indicating a request to allow the first radio to transmit over the first wireless network, and wherein the second controller is to assert a transmit-allowed signal over the interface to indicate that the request to transmit is granted, or to de-assert the transmit-allowed signal to indicate that the request to transmit is denied.

Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of improving de-sensitivity in a receiver of a portable device.
