Cellular-to-USB and Cellular-to-DisplayPort SW mitigation

A method, comprising:

• determining that a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type C (USB-C) interface module of a user equipment (UE) is physically connected to an external display;
• receiving an indication that the external display is requesting to receive display data according to a DisplayPort protocol via the USB-C interface module;
• in response to receiving the indication:
• pausing establishment of a DisplayPort connection between the UE and the external display;
• and
• configuring one or more wireless communication modules to mitigate interference with the DisplayPort connection and transmission by the one or more wireless communication modules;
• and
• upon completion of configuring the one or more wireless communication modules, completing establishment of the DisplayPort connection.

A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium storing software instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• provide an indication to a Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type C (USB-C) interface module to mask results of an RX.Detect procedure, such that the LTSSM will not change states upon the RX.Detect procedure detecting a connection to a remote apparatus via the USB-C interface module;
• receive an indication that the RX.Detect procedure detected a connection to a remote apparatus via the USB-C interface module;
• in response to receiving the indication that the RX.Detect procedure detected the connection, provide an indication to one or more wireless communication modules to mitigate interference with high-speed data pins of the USB-C interface module;
• receive an indication that the one or more wireless communication modules have performed configuration to mitigate interference;
• and
• in response to receiving the indication that the one or more wireless communication modules have performed the configuration, notify the LTSSM that the RX.Detect procedure detected the connection.
