Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080240021 | MAC coordination architecture for multi-ratio coexistence and a method for connecting over sideband channels - A wireless device with a multi-radio platform includes a scheduling coordinator connected by a control bus to enable the radios to share frequency spectrum by operating during time slots requested by the radios, avoid collisions, mitigate interference and control shared hardware components. | 10-02-2008 |
20080242329 | Methods and arrangements for link rate adaptation in multi-radio co-existence platforms - Methods and arrangements for link rate adaptation in multi-radio co-existence platforms (MRPs) are contemplated. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to determine an overlap between receiving by a wireless device of the MRP and transmitting by other of the wireless devices of the MRP and to select a link rate of the wireless device of the MRP based upon the determining an overlap. The embodiments may also include communicating the determined link rate to a wireless device transmitting to the wireless device of the MRP. Embodiments may also include selecting a previously used link rate if the receiving overlaps the transmitting. Embodiments may also include basing the link rate upon an overlapping or non-overlapping Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise-Ratio depending on the relative amounts of overlapping and non-overlapping. | 10-02-2008 |
20080247445 | ARCHITECTURE AND METHODS FOR COEXISTENCE OF WIRELESS RADIOS HAVING DIFFERING PROTOCOLS - Embodiments of systems and methods for the coexistence of wireless radios having differing protocols are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments systems and methods for synchronizing clocks between two radios, and using a signal to notify one of the radios to refrain from transmitting for a timeperiod are described. | 10-09-2008 |
20090003294 | Multiple radio platform transmission power control - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus that includes a first radio to communicate with a first wireless network and a second radio to communicate with a second wireless network. A controller is used to estimate signal to noise and interference ratio (SINR) for signal being received by the first radio when the second radio is transmitting. The controller is also to determine if the estimate meets a threshold. Transmissions are permitted from the second radio while the first radio is receiving if the threshold is met. | 01-01-2009 |
20090054009 | MULTI-RADIO WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COORDINATING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN POTENTIALLY INTERFERING RADIOS - Embodiments of a multi-radio wireless communication device having a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax) radio module and a Bluetooth (BT) radio module and methods for communicating are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a WiMax active signal is asserted by a coexist controller of the WiMax radio module during receipt of a downlink subframe, and the BT radio module aligns a BT slot boundary of either master-to-slave or slave-to-master slot based on timing information conveyed by the WiMax active signal. The WiMax active signal may be de-asserted by the coexist controller during transmission of an uplink subframe by the WiMax radio module. | 02-26-2009 |
20090088177 | COLLOCATED RADIO COEXISTENCE METHOD - A collocated radio coexistence method is disclosed. The method operates in the frequency domain to protect WiMAX downlink traffic from narrow band interference (e.g. harmonics) caused by other collocated radios, such as GSM 800 MHz, operating simultaneously with an 802.16-capable (WiMAX) radio in a multiple radio coexistence platform (MRP). | 04-02-2009 |
20100316089 | FREQUENCY SELECTION METHOD TO MITIGATE IN-BAND INTERFERENCE FROM INTER-MODULATION SPUR OF THE COLLOCATED RADIO TRANSMITTER - A radio transmitter select its operating frequency based on the frequency characteristics of a collocated receiver and clock harmonics. | 12-16-2010 |
20100329230 | Avoiding beacon conflicts in multi-radio platforms - In a multi-radio platform that operates in two networks, both the announced beacon intervals and the actual beacon intervals in one network may be periodically increased and decreased in defined amounts so that the beacons will not overlap scheduled communications with the other network. The determination of how much and how often to adjust these beacon intervals may be based, at least partially, on the minimum increments in which the beacons intervals are permitted to be adjusted, and on the scheduled communications intervals of the other network. | 12-30-2010 |
20110134891 | WiMAX Scheduling Algorithm for Co-Located WiFi and WiMAX Central Points - After receiving an indication that a co-located central point is receiving co-location interference, a scheduling algorithm may be initiated. The scheduling may include allocating equal number of central points within each WiMAX frame. Each central point is allocated into a minimum number of frames subject to WiMAX capacity constraints. | 06-09-2011 |
20110149920 | MULTI-RADIO PLATFORM AND METHOD FOR MITIGATING INTERFERENCE BETWEEN CO-LOCATED RADIOS - Embodiments of a multi-radio platform and method for mitigating the effects of interference are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the multi-radio platform includes co-located radios including a Bluetooth transceiver and a wireless network transceiver. The wireless network transceiver may apply a transmit-active noise-cancellation matrix to signals received by the wireless network transceiver when the Bluetooth transceiver is transmitting and may apply a transmit-inactive noise-cancellation matrix to signals received when the Bluetooth transceiver is not transmitting. The transmit-active noise-cancellation matrix may mitigate effects of emissions generated by the Bluetooth transceiver when the Bluetooth transceiver is transmitting. The transmit-inactive noise-cancellation matrix is to mitigate effects of platform noise generated by platform elements of the multi-radio platform. | 06-23-2011 |
20120230303 | ARCHITECTURE AND METHODS FOR COEXISTENCE OF WIRELESS RADIOS HAVING DIFFERING PROTOCOLS - Embodiments of systems and methods for the coexistence of wireless radios having differing protocols are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments systems and methods for synchronizing clocks between two radios, and using a signal to notify one of the radios to refrain from transmitting for a timeperiod are described. | 09-13-2012 |
