Apparatus and methods for avoiding interference for in-device coexistence

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory stores instructions, and when the at least one processor executes the instructions stored in the at least one memory, the apparatus executes operations comprising:
• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), data representing an indication of a set of carrier frequencies, a set of carrier frequency ranges, or a combination of candidate serving frequencies or candidate service frequency ranges affected by in-device coexistence (IDC);
• and
• using a configuration corresponding to the data, for time division multiplexing (TDM) or frequency division multiplexing (FDM) to mitigate effects of the IDC.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory stores instructions, and when the at least one processor executes the instructions stored in the at least one memory, the apparatus executes operations comprising:
• receiving, from a master node (MN), a first set of data representing a first set of candidate carrier frequencies or a first candidate serving frequency range list;
• receiving, from a secondary node (SN), a second set of data representing a second set of candidate carrier frequencies or a second candidate serving frequency range list;
• detecting in-device coexistence (IDC) based on the first set of data or the second set of data;
• and
• transmitting data to the MN or to the SN representing an indication of the IDC.
