Methods and apparatus for improving NFC activation and data exchange reporting mechanisms

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to:
• obtain a first radio frequency (RF) technology and mode value, a second RF technology and mode value, and one or more RF specific parameters associated with a remote near field communication (NFC) device during an activation phase of a communication link using a first NFC RF technology, wherein the one or more RF specific parameters and the first NFC RF technology are based on the first RF technology and mode value;
• and
• configure communications to be supported by a second NFC RF technology for use during a data exchange phase of the communication link, wherein the second NFC RF technology is based on the second RF technology and mode value.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• a NFC controller configured to:
• obtain a first radio frequency (RF) technology and mode value, a second RF technology and mode value, and one or more RF specific parameters associated with a remote near field communication (NFC) device during an activation phase of a communication link using a first NFC RF technology, wherein the one or more RF specific parameters and the first NFC RF technology are based on the first RF technology and mode value;
• and
• configure communications to be supported by a second NFC RF technology for use during a data exchange phase of the communication link, wherein the second NFC RF technology is based on the second RF technology and mode value.
