Operating multi-service receiver in non-interfering manner

In a device comprising a coupling to a first antenna and a second antenna, a method for operating a receiver comprising a coupling to the first antenna in combination with a transmitter comprising a coupling to the second antenna, the method comprising:

• receiving information in bursts with the receiver on a first band of radio frequencies,
• measuring signal strength of the information received with the receiver,
• comparing the measured signal strength to a reference value, and
• if the measured signal strength is above the reference value,
• enabling operation of the transmitter, and
• if the measured signal strength is below the reference value, limiting operation of the transmitter during reception of the bursts,
• wherein the transmitter is in a GSM network, the method further comprising:
• configuring the transmitter to send data using GPRS, and timing the transmission to time instants at which the receiver is not receiving bursts.

• if the measured signal strength is above the reference value,
• enabling operation of the transmitter, and
• if the measured signal strength is below the reference value, limiting operation of the transmitter during reception of the bursts,
• wherein the step of limiting the operation of the transmitter during reception of the bursts comprises:
• delaying signaling of the transmitter to a time instant at which a burst is not being received.

• notifying a user of the device before a large amount of data is about to be transmitted or received.

In a device comprising a coupling to a first antenna and a second antenna, a method for operating a receiver comprising a coupling to the first antenna in combination with a transmitter comprising a coupling to the second antenna, the method comprising:

• receiving information with the receiver on a first band of radio frequencies;
• transmitting information from the transmitter in a second band of radio frequencies;
• measuring signal strength of the information received with the receiver;
• measuring output signal strength of the transmitter;
• determining a difference in measured signal strengths;
• and
• controlling the transmitter on the basis of the determination.
