Abstract
In a wireless communication device with multiple radio access technologies (RATs), frame timing for one RAT may be aligned with a frame timing of another RAT so as to reduce a number of communication frames of the different RATs that overlap in time with each other. The aligning reduces the number of communication frames that are subject to cancellation due to interference. Alignment may reduce a number of transmit frames of one RAT that overlap with multiple receive frames of another RAT. Alignment may reduce a number of receive frames of one RAT that overlap with multiple transmit frames of another RAT.
Claims28
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- determining a frame timing of communications of a first radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- aligning a frame timing for communications of a second RAT with the frame timing of communications of the first RAT to reduce a number of receive periods of the second RAT that overlap in time with a plurality of transmit periods of the first RAT.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for determining a frame timing of communications of a first radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- means for aligning a frame timing for communications of a second RAT with the frame timing of communications of the first RAT to reduce a number of receive periods of the second RAT that overlap in time with a plurality of transmit periods of the first RAT.
A computer program product for wireless communications, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to determine a frame timing of communications of a first radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- program code to align a frame timing for communications of a second RAT with the frame timing of communications of the first RAT to reduce a number of receive periods of the second RAT that overlap in time with a plurality of transmit periods of the first RAT.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured:
- to determine a frame timing of communications of a first radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- to align a frame timing for communications of a second RAT with the frame timing of communications of the first RAT to reduce a number of receive periods of the second RAT that overlap in time with a plurality of transmit periods of the first RAT.
