Adaptive Antenna Selection for Interference Mitigation
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processing element configured to;
determine that simultaneous communication of a first wireless communication technology and a second wireless communication technology causes performance degradation to a third wireless communication technology; and
select one or more antennas used for the simultaneous communication of the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology based at least in part on determining that the simultaneous communication of the first wireless communication technology and the second wireless communication technology causes performance degradation to the third wireless communication technology.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to perfoming antenna selection to reduce interference in a wireless device. According to some embodiments, it may be determined whether simultaneous communication according to first and second wireless communication technologies causes performance degradation to a third wireless communication technology. If the simultaneous communication according to first and second wireless communication technologies does cause performance degradation to the third wireless communication technology, selection of antenna(s) used for the communications may be based at least in part on the determination that the simultaneous communication according to the first and second wireless communication technologies causes performance degradation to the third wireless communication technology.

14. A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by a wireless user equipment (UE) device, cause the UE device to:
-
determine a first transmission frequency for transmitting according to a first wireless communication technology; determine a second transmission frequency for transmitting according to a second wireless communication technology; determine one or more frequencies on which interference is generated from simultaneously transmitting on the first transmission frequency and the second transmission frequency; determine whether any of the one or more frequencies on which interference is generated at least partially overlap a frequency band associated with a third wireless communication technology; determine an activity status of the third wireless communication technology; perform antenna selection for transmitting signals according to at least one of the first wireless communication technology or the second wireless communication technology to reduce interference to the third wireless communication technology if the third wireless communication technology is active and the one or more frequencies on which interference is generated at least partially overlap a frequency band associated with the third wireless communication technology. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
