Ue transmitter sharing

A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• sharing a single transmit chain via time-division multiplexing (TDM) for concurrent communication by at least first and second radio access technologies (RAT);
• detecting or predicting conflicts between scheduled uplink transmissions in the first RAT related to a voice call and a scheduled transmission in the second RAT;
• and
• denying uplink transmissions in the first RAT in response to detected or predicted conflicts, subject to maintaining a level of voice quality for the voice call.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for sharing a single transmit chain via time-division multiplexing (TDM) for concurrent communication by at least the first and second radio access technologies (RAT);
• means for negotiating an autonomous denial rate for the UE to deny uplink transmissions in the second RAT;
• means for detecting or predicting conflicts between uplink transmissions in the first RAT and a transmission in the second RAT;
• and
• means for denying uplink transmissions in the second RAT, subject to the negotiated autonomous denial rate, in response to detected or predicted conflicts.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• share a single transmit chain via time-division multiplexing (TDM) for concurrent communication by at least first and second radio access technologies (RAT);
• negotiate an autonomous denial rate for the UE to deny uplink transmissions in the second RAT;
• detect or predict conflicts between uplink transmissions in the first RAT and a transmission in the second RAT;
• and
• deny uplink transmissions in the second RAT, subject to the negotiated autonomous denial rate, in response to detected or predicted conflicts;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.

• denying uplink transmissions in the second RAT, subject to the negotiated autonomous denial rate, in response to detected or predicted conflicts.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a base station, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• negotiate an autonomous denial rate for a user equipment (UE) to deny uplink transmissions to the base station;
• and
• communicate with the UE, wherein the UE is allowed to deny uplink transmissions to the base station, subject to the negotiated autonomous denial rate;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• share a single transmit chain via time-division multiplexing (TDM) for concurrent communication by at least first and second radio access technologies (RAT);
• and
• provide assistance information to a base station of the second RAT to assist the base station in avoiding scheduling uplink transmissions that conflict with uplink transmission in the first RAT;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a base station, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• receive assistance information from a user equipment (UE) indicating when uplink transmissions from the UE in a first radio access technology (RAT) conflict with uplink transmissions from the UE in a second RAT;
• and
• avoid scheduling at least some uplink transmissions based on the assistance information;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a base station, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:

• avoid scheduling at least some uplink transmissions from the UE in the second RAT, based on the gathered information;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.
