Abstract
A user equipment (UE) device may be configured to effectively manage coexistence of multiple radio access technologies (RATs) on the device. Respective controllers responsible for at least partially managing wireless communications according to corresponding respective RATs may communicate to each other expected data transfer patterns that take place over their respective communications links, including application-specific data transfer patterns and data-transfer-mechanism-specific data transfer patterns. The RAT controllers may manage their respective data transfers according to the expected data-transfer pattern information associated with the other RATs received from each in order to prevent data transmission by the device over one RAT link interfering with data transmission of the device over another RAT link. The expected data pattern information may be sent in messaging of a specific type with indexes determined based at least on a status of the data transfer mechanism and a connectivity status of the UE device.
