Abstract
Systems and methods for enabling in-device coexistence (IDC) are provided. In an embodiment, IDC interference is detected and determination is made whether or not the IDC interference can be remedied using an internal user equipment (UE) solution that does not involve the cellular network. If not, a preferred IDC solution is determined by the UE and sent to the cellular network in an IDC indication. The cellular network responds to the IDC indication with a network-identified IDC solution, which may or may not correspond to the preferred IDC solution. The UE can apply the network-identified IDC solution to remedy the IDC interference.
Claims25
A communications device, comprising:
- a first radio technology communications module;
- and
- a second radio technology communications module,
- wherein the first radio technology communications module is configured to detect in-device coexistence (IDC) interference and determine a preferred IDC solution for the IDC interference based on operation parameters of the communications device, and wherein the operation parameters include a current application scenario of the communications device and associated connection configurations of the first radio technology communications module and the second radio technology communications module to support the current application scenario.
(canceled)
A method for reducing in-device coexistence (IDC) interference due to the coexistence of two or more radio technology communications modules in a communications device, comprising:
- detecting in-device coexistence (IDC) interference;
- determining a preferred IDC solution for the IDC interference based on operation parameters of the communications device, wherein the operation parameters include a current application scenario of the communications device and associated connection configurations of the two or more radio technology communications module to support the current application scenario;
- and
- transmitting an IDC indication including the preferred IDC solution to a base station.
(canceled)
A method for reducing in-device coexistence (IDC) interference in a communications device that includes a first radio technology communications module and a second radio technology communications module, comprising:
- determining whether or not an internal solution remedies the IDC interference;
- if the internal solution remedies the IDC interference, applying the internal solution;
- if the internal solution does not remedy the IDC interference,
- determining a preferred IDC solution for the IDC interference based on operation parameters of the communications device, wherein the operation parameters include a current application scenario of the communications device and associated connection configurations of the first radio technology communications module and the second radio technology communications module to support the current application scenario;
- and
- transmitting an IDC indication including the preferred IDC solution to a base station.
