Mitigating interference in a mobile wireless communication device by using an estimation of the performance impact of interfering signals generated by a wireless cellular transmitter and received by a co-located Bluetooth receiver. Bluetooth frequency channels are marked suitable or unsuitable for transmission based on the performance impact estimation and the state of the wireless cellular and Bluetooth connections. The estimation accounts for properties of the wireless cellular transmitter and Bluetooth receiver as well as operational characteristics of the wireless cellular and Bluetooth connections.

Abstract:
A method, a personal area network device operating as a slave, and a short range communications device operating as a slave are disclosed. A data storage may store at least one protocol-specific channel criterion for a connection with a master short range communication device. A short range transceiver may execute a preliminary device scan of a scanning set of communication channels for radio frequency energy. A processor may decide to execute a full device scan based in part on the protocol-specific channel criterion.
A method of mitigating interference in a mobile wireless communication device by adaptively adjusting transmit power levels of a wireless cellular transceiver. A receive signal quality for a wireless non-cellular transceiver that includes interference from signals transmitted by the wireless cellular transceiver is estimated. The wireless non-cellular and wireless cellular transceivers are co-located in the mobile wireless communication device, and both transceivers are active. An actual transmit power of the wireless cellular transceiver is adjusted based on the estimated receive signal quality to a level less than a requested transmit power. The estimation of the receive signal quality and the adjusting of the actual transmit power is periodically repeated. The estimation accounts for operational properties of the wireless cellular and non-cellular transceivers as well as operational characteristics of wireless connections through the transceivers.

Abstract:
A method for multi-radio coexistence receives historical frequency usage information and historical time usage information from a first radio. The method creates a time and frequency mask by extrapolating the historical frequency and time usage information to future times and frequencies when the first radio will be active and uses the time and frequency mask to schedule a second radio to avoid receiving when the first radio will likely be active. A related apparatus has a collocated radio input for receiving timing usage information, a non-collocated radio input for receiving frequency usage information, and a time and frequency mask generator for creating a time and frequency mask using the timing usage information and the frequency usage information. The method and apparatus predicts collocated and non-collocated radio activity in both the time and frequency dimensions to reduce interference among radios operating in overlapping or adjacent frequency bands.

Mitigating interference in a mobile wireless communication device by using an estimation of the performance impact of interfering signals generated by a wireless cellular transmitter and received by a co-located wireless local area network receiver. Wireless local area network frequency band usage is modified based on the performance impact estimation and the state of the wireless cellular and wireless local area network connections. The estimation accounts for properties of the wireless cellular transmitter and wireless local area network receiver as well as operational characteristics of the wireless cellular and wireless local area network connections.

US Classification:
702108, 701 19
Abstract:
A test system may be provided for performing wireless communications testing of electronic devices in a building. The test system may include a mobile cart that transports the device under test to test stations in the building. The test system may include a visible guide track having visible test station indicators. The mobile cart may include an optical sensor for detecting the visible guide track and the visible test station indicators. The mobile cart may transport the device under test to the test stations along the visible guide track. The mobile cart may include a rotating stage to which the device under test may be mounted. The rotating stage may be used to rotate the device under test while the device under test transmits test data to wireless communications equipment in the building during wireless communications testing of the device under test.
