Radio transmission scheduling according to multiradio control in a radio modem
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving operational schedule information indicating one or more time periods during which communication is permitted for a radio modem;
evaluating if transmission of at least one prioritized message planned for the radio modem will not be completed before the one or more time periods expire; and
ensuring that the transmission of the at least one prioritized message will be completed within the one or more time periods by modifying a local packet schedule in the radio modem.

Abstract
A system for managing the simultaneous operation of a plurality of radio modems in a single wireless communication device (WCD). The multiradio control may be integrated into the WCD as a subsystem responsible for scheduling wireless communications by temporarily enabling or disabling the plurality of radio modems within the device. The multiradio control system may comprise a multiradio controller (MRC) and a plurality dedicated radio interfaces. The radio interfaces are dedicated to quickly conveying delay sensitive information to and from the radio modems. The modems may further include control features that take information from the MRC as an input in determining the priority of messages to be sent out to a receiving device.
