Multi-radio coexistence of a broadband radio and a broadcast stream receiver that receives broadcast stream data

Abstract

A multi-radio device, such as User Equipment (UE), may experience coexistence issues among various ones of its constituent radio devices that operate at the same time. Various aspects of the disclosure provide techniques to mitigate coexistence issues in multi-radio devices, where significant in-device coexistence problems can exist. In particular, a method for coexistence of multi-radio devices is described. The method includes identifying, at an upper layer of a multi-radio UE, a type of incoming broadcast stream data. The method further includes determining a coexistence policy for operation of communication resources within the multi-radio UE based on the type of the incoming broadcast stream data. The method also includes arbitrating, at a lower layer of the multi-radio UE, between the communication resources based on the coexistence policy.
