Mobile wireless communications device providing enhanced interference mitigation from wireline transmitter and related methods

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a communications device including a wireless receiver and a wireline transmitter, an indication of an incoming communication signal;
• determining whether the incoming communication signal is in a frequency band overlapping with a type of wireline transmission performed by the wireline transmitter;
• responsive to a determination that the incoming communication signal is in the frequency band, determining when the wireless receiver is to begin receiving the incoming communication signal and, prior thereto, generating a first control signal for switching the wireline transmitter to a suspended communication mode during which transmission is disabled;
• and
• determining when the wireless receiver has completed receiving the communication signal and, subsequent thereto, generating a second control signal for switching the wireline transmitter to a normal communication mode in which transmission is enabled.

A device comprising:

• a wireless receiver configured to receive communication signals over a wireless frequency range;
• a wireline transmitter configured to transmit communication signals overlapping in frequency with the wireless frequency range;
• a controller coupled with the wireless receiver and the wireline transmitter, wherein the controller performs operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of an incoming communication signal;
• responsive to the indication, determining when the wireless receiver is to begin receiving the communication signal and, prior thereto, generating a first control signal for switching the wireline transmitter to a suspended communication mode during which transmission is disabled and displaying a message indicating that the wireline transmitter is in the suspended communication mode;
• and
• determining when the wireless receiver has completed receiving the communication signal and, subsequent thereto, generating a second control signal for switching the wireline transmitter to a normal communication mode in which transmission is enabled.
