Abstract
The application discloses a mobile communication device and method. The mobile communication method includes: when a collision between third party communication by a third party module and Wi-Fi communication by a Wi-Fi module is detected, determining a next Wi-Fi receiving gain; and adjusting a Wi-Fi receiving gain based on the calculated next Wi-Fi receiving gain to concurrently receive Wi-Fi signals and third party signals.
Claims20
A method for operating a mobile communication device comprising a third party module and a Wi-Fi module, the method comprising:
- at a first timing, receiving third party signals via an antenna set of the mobile communication device;
- at a second timing, detecting an expected collision between third party communication and Wi-Fi communication, wherein either the third party module or the Wi-Fi module calculates a next Wi-Fi receiving gain and controls the Wi-Fi module to reduce the Wi-Fi receiving gain;
- at a third timing, concurrently receiving both the third party signals and the Wi-Fi signals using the reduced Wi-Fi receiving gain;
- and
- at a fourth timing, detecting that the expected collision is expected to disappear, wherein either the third party module or the Wi-Fi module calculates a next Wi-Fi receiving gain that is higher than the reduced Wi-Fi receiving gain, and increases the Wi-Fi receiving gain.
A mobile communication device, comprising:
- an antenna set for receiving third party signals and Wi-Fi signals;
- a third party module coupled to the antenna set, for processing the third party signals;
- and a Wi-Fi module coupled to the antenna set, for processing the Wi-Fi signals;
- wherein:
- at a first timing, the antenna set receives the third party signals;
- at a second timing, an expected collision between third party communication and Wi-Fi communication is detected, wherein either the third party module or the Wi-Fi module calculates a next Wi-Fi receiving gain and controls the Wi-Fi module to reduce the Wi-Fi receiving gain;
- at a third timing, the Wi-Fi module concurrently receives the Wi-Fi signals while the third party module receives the third party signals using the reduced Wi-Fi receiving gain;
- and
- at a fourth timing, when the expected collision is expected to disappear, either the third party module or the Wi-Fi module calculates a next Wi-Fi receiving gain that is higher than the reduced Wi-Fi receiving gain, and increases the Wi-Fi receiving gain.
