METHODS FOR RESPONDING TO CO-LOCATED COEXISTENCE (CLC) REQUEST FROM A MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUSES CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING MULTI-RADIO COEXISTENCE
First Claim
1. A communications apparatus, comprising:
- a first radio module providing a first wireless communications service and communicating with a first communications device in compliance with a first protocol;
a second radio module providing a second wireless communications service and communicating with a second communications device in compliance with a second protocol; and
a Co-Located Coexistence (CLC) radio manager detecting activities of the first radio modules, obtaining a first traffic pattern describing downlink and/or uplink traffic allocations of the first radio module from the first radio module, and generating a second traffic pattern of the second radio module according to the first traffic pattern to coordinate operations of the first and second radio modules,wherein the second traffic pattern describes recommended downlink and/or uplink traffic allocations to a plurality of sub-frames for the second radio module, and wherein each sub-frame defined by the second protocol comprises a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

Abstract
A communications apparatus is provided. A first radio module provides a first wireless communications service and communicates with a first communications device in compliance with a first protocol. A second radio module provides a second wireless communications service and communicates with a second communications device in compliance with a second protocol. A Co-Located Coexistence radio manager detects activities of the first radio modules, obtains a first traffic pattern describing downlink and/or uplink traffic allocations of the first radio module from the first radio module, and generates a second traffic pattern of the second radio module according to the first traffic pattern to coordinate operations of the first and second radio modules. An associated method is also provided.
