Abstract
A multimode wireless communication device capable of communicating pursuant to first and second communication protocols, including a method wherein a determination is made (530) as to whether a harmonic generated during transmission in one protocol interferes with reception in another protocol, and wherein transmission is suspended while receiving only if a harmonic generated during transmission interferes with reception. In some embodiments, the transmitter is temporarily operated in compressed mode to enable the suspension.
