Method and apparatus for OIS protection in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying a first radio operating according to Forward Link Only (FLO) and at least one second radio not operating according to FLO;
identifying a transmission of Overhead information Symbol (OIS) information scheduled to occur at a given time interval via the first radio; and
prioritizing the transmission of OIS information such that the transmission of OIS information is given a higher priority level than respective events associated with the at least one second radio.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate improved multi-radio coexistence between a Forward Link Only (FLO) radio and at least one non-FLO radio associated with a wireless device. As described herein, Overhead Information Symbol (OIS) transmissions scheduled by a FLO radio (such as transmissions on a dedicated OIS control channel or data transmissions containing embedded OIS information) can be given higher priority than other transmissions that collide with the OIS transmissions. In addition, transmissions scheduled by a non-FLO radio can be prioritized above respective non-OIS transmissions scheduled by a FLO radio, or alternatively non-OIS FLO transmissions can additionally be prioritized above transmissions scheduled by a non-FLO radio according to a measured amount of degradation present at the non-FLO radio. In a specific example described herein involving a Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio, degradation can be determined based on a number of successively missed Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmissions.
