LTE Transmission Mask Adjustment to Maximize Performance and Reduce Interference

A system, comprising:

• a first wireless communication circuit configured to operate in a first frequency range according to a first standard;
• a second wireless communication circuit configured to operate in a second frequency range according to a second standard, wherein the first frequency range is adjacent to the second frequency range;
• and
• a controller configured to generate a channel quality report according to the first standard, the channel quality report indicating that particular sub-bands in the first frequency range have low channel quality, wherein the particular sub-bands are selected using channel information received from the second wireless communication device.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• an Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication circuit;
• an Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band communication circuit;
• and
• a controller configured to generate LTE Channel Quality Indication (CQI) reports, wherein the content of the CQI reports is selected using channel information associated with an ISM band channel assigned to the ISM band communication circuit.
