Method and apparatus for multi-transmitter power control

A multi-transmitter mobile device, comprising:

• a controller operable to:
• simultaneously transmit a signal in a first mode causing an interrupting signal to a transmission in a second mode;
• receive commands to increase power in the second mode as a result of the interrupting signal;
• and
• ignore commands from a base station to increase power in the second mode as a result of the interrupting signal to the transmission in the second mode.

A multi-transmitter mobile device, comprising:

• a plurality of transceivers;
• at least one receiver;
• a controller coupled to the plurality of transceivers and the at least one receiver, wherein the controller is operable to:
• simultaneously transmit a signal in a first mode causing an interruption signal to a transmission in a second mode, wherein the second mode is a code division multiple access (CDMA) mode;
• receive commands to increase power in the second mode as a result of the interruption signal;
• and
• ignore commands from a CDMA base station to increase power in the second mode as a result of the interruption signal to the transmission in the second mode.
