Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with reducing interference between NFC communications and other coexisting RAT based communications. In one example, a communications device may include an interface that is equipped to detect that a NFC communication and a coexisting RAT communication are to occur within a threshold time of each other, determine whether the communications will interfere with each other beyond a threshold level of interference, and align timing for the NFC communication and the RAT communication upon a determination that the communications will not interfere with each other beyond the threshold level of interference. In another example, a communications device may include an interface that is equipped to detect that a NFC subsystem has established a NFC connection, and provide a message to another RAT subsystem to establish a link or perform a handover.
