METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RADIO FILTERING IN A MULTI-RADIO DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying a set of transceivers to be resolved at a given time interval;
obtaining information relating to potential pairwise collisions between respective transceivers in the set of transceivers; and
dividing the set of transceivers into respective non-overlapping clusters of one or more transceivers such that respective transceivers in the set of transceivers are associated with a single cluster and respective transceivers associated with a given cluster do not exhibit potential pairwise collisions with transceivers not associated with the given cluster.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate filtering or clustering of radios and/or other transceivers associated with a communication environment. As described herein, potentially conflicting transceivers supported by a communications device can be managed in an expedited fashion by filtering the transceivers into respective groups or clusters of transceivers that exhibit potential collisions. For example, clusters can be generated such that respective transceivers are associated with a single cluster and respective transceivers associated with a given cluster do not exhibit potential collisions with transceivers not associated with the given cluster. Clustering can be performed graphically as further described herein by generating and analyzing a graph that includes nodes corresponding to respective transceivers and edges representing potential conflicts therebetween. Additionally, resolution tables can be generated using substantially all combinations of conflicting transceivers within a set of transceivers, as determined based on an initial clustering and/or in any other suitable manner.
