COEXISTENCE MANAGER FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF MULTIPLE RADIOS
First Claim
1. A method of supporting wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving inputs from one or more radios among multiple radios operating concurrently;
determining controls for at least one radio among the multiple radios based on the received inputs to mitigate interference caused by or observed by each of the at least one radio; and
sending the controls to the at least one radio.

Abstract
Techniques for performing radio coexistence management to control operation of multiple radios to achieve good performance are described. In one design, an entity (e.g., a coexistence manager or a radio controller) may receive inputs from one or more radios among multiple radios operating concurrently. An input from a radio may indicate a planned operating state or planned activity of the radio in an upcoming time interval. The entity may determine controls for at least one radio based on the received inputs and a database of performance versus operating states to mitigate interference caused or observed by each of the at least one radio. The control for a radio may indicate a selected operating state or selected setting for at least one configurable parameter for the radio in the upcoming interval. The entity may send the controls to the at least one radio. Each radio may operate in accordance with its control.
