Avoiding interference between hotspot service and LTE unlicensed cellular operation

A method comprising:

• at a user equipment (UE) having a cellular connection established by a cellular chip, the cellular connection including a secondary component carrier (SCC) of carrier aggregation (CA) in an unlicensed spectrum:
• receiving, by a WiFi chip of the UE, a message from the cellular chip indicating a first frequency band corresponding to the SCC;
• determining, by one of the WiFi chip or an applications processor, whether a hotspot service is enabled by the WiFi chip and is utilizing at least a portion of the first frequency band that the cellular chip has indicated corresponds to the SCC;
• and
• when the hotspot service is enabled, switching, by the WiFi chip, the hotspot service from the first frequency band to a second frequency band in the unlicensed spectrum that is not in use for the hotspot service, wherein the first frequency band and the second frequency band do not include overlapping frequencies.
