One aspect of the present invention can include a dual transmit mobile communication device that includes multiple modems, a modem controller, and a data session manager. The modem controller can programmatically control the modems. The data session manager can manage data sessions of the mobile communication device. The data session manager can programmatically interact with the software modem controller to ensure that only one of the modems is transmitting at any one time. States of data communication sessions can be automatically adjusted as necessary. For example, the modem controller can block transmissions over a data traffic channel in order to use a modem other than one associated with the data traffic channel, such as using a modem to handle a dispatch session. The data session manager can preserve state information of blocked data sessions, so that the sessions can be resumed when a modem is available.

Multimodal phone data session management enhancement that alleviates dual transmission problems

The invention concerns a method () and system () for managing communications for a multi-mode communications device (). The method can include the steps of establishing () communications with at least a first wireless network () and advising () the first wireless network of the multi-mode nature of the multi-mode communications device. As such, the first wireless network can be made aware that the multi-mode communications device is capable of communicating with a second wireless network ().

Method and system for managing communications for a multi-mode communications device

Within a communication device, a method of managing a plurality of modems can include determining a first measure of transmission power for a first modem (), wherein the first measure of transmission power is a running total of transmission power for the first modem over a predetermined time period, and determining a second measure of transmission power for a second modem (), wherein the second measure of transmission power is a running total of transmission power for the second modem over the predetermined time period. If a sum of the first measure of transmission power and the second measure of transmission power exceeds a threshold during the predetermined time period, at least one predetermined action can be performed ().
