Radio selection in a multi-radio device
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of radios defined within a mobile device that are available for use;
obtaining interference information indicative of interference between the plurality of radios;
obtaining additional information used for radio selection; and
selecting at least one radio of the plurality of radios for communicating based at least in part on the interference information and the additional information.

Abstract
Techniques for supporting communication by a wireless device having a set of radios and supporting a set of applications are described. In an aspect, radio selection may be performed based on interference information and additional information to obtain good performance. In one design, a plurality of radios available for use on the wireless device may be identified. Interference information indicative of interference between the plurality of radios may be obtained, e.g., from an interference database or a converted interference database. Additional information used for radio selection may also be obtained and may include information for communication profiles, communication preferences, application requirements, radio capabilities, etc. At least one radio may be selected for use for communication from among the plurality of radios based on the interference information and the additional information.
