Abstract
A communications apparatus with a processor coupled to a first RAT module in a packet transfer mode for data transfer, a second RAT module in an idle mode and a radio transceiver are provided. The processor receives a reservation request requesting permission to use the radio transceiver for performing a first radio activity from the first RAT module, and determines whether to provide a gap interval during the data transfer of the second RAT module for the first RAT module to use the radio transceiver according to a type of a second radio activity to be preformed by the second RAT module which collides with the first radio activity. When the gap interval is determined to be provided, the second RAT module is unable to use the radio transceiver for performing the second radio activity and the data transfer of the second RAT module is suspended during the gap interval.
