Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatuses for managing coexistence interference by an access point (AP) and wireless device are described. The wireless device may perform communication with the AP and with another device. The wireless device may indicate characteristics of its communication patterns with the other device to the AP. The AP may determine times to communicate and/or avoid communication with the wireless device based on the characteristics.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to cause a wireless device to:
- establish communication with an access point (AP) according to a first radio access technology (RAT);
- establish communication with a second device according to a second RAT different from the first RAT;
- in response to determining that the communication with the second device comprises periodic communication, determine at least one of:
- a periodicity of the periodic communication;
- or
- a duration of the periodic communication;
- and
- transmit, to the AP, an indication of the at least one of:
- the periodicity of the periodic communication;
- or
- the duration of the periodic communication.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to cause a wireless device to:
- establish first communication with an access point (AP) according to a first radio access technology (RAT);
- establish second communication with a second device according to a second RAT different from the first RAT;
- determine that the first communication and the second communication are scheduled according to a first coexistence scheme in which:
- the first communication and the second communication are scheduled according to time division multiplexing;
- the first communication occurs in fixed duration time windows;
- and
- the second communication occurs in variable duration time windows;
- and
- in response to determining that the first communication and the second communication are scheduled according to the first coexistence scheme, transmit, to the AP, an indication of an amount of time remaining in a first fixed duration time window.
7 more elements
A method, comprising:
- at an access point (AP):
- establishing communication with a wireless device according to a first radio access technology (RAT);
- receiving, from the wireless device, a first indication that the wireless device is performing periodic communication with a second device according to a second RAT, wherein the first indication comprises at least one of:
- a periodicity of the periodic communication;
- or
- a periodic communication duration of the periodic communication;
- and
- in response to the first indication, avoiding scheduling communication with the wireless device during an instance of the periodic communication.
