Methods and apparatus for dynamic wireless device coexistence
First Claim
1. A method of mitigating the interference between multiple wireless communication apparatus disposed substantially within a clamshell device, the method comprising:
- determining a physical configuration of two or more components of the device comprising (i) an open-lid mode and (ii) a closed-lid mode;
operating the device according to a co-existence scheme based at least in part on the determined physical configuration; and
based at least in part on the determined physical configuration, turning at least a portion of the co-existence scheme on or off.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for dynamically compensating for the effects of interference between multiple wireless communications apparatus. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a first wireless communication apparatus operating in a first band and a second wireless communication apparatus operating in the same first band (or proximate to the first band and with a comparatively high transmitter power), where the second wireless communication apparatus operates according to a different communication protocol than the first wireless communication apparatus and further change in physical configuration with respect to one another. Based on the physical configuration, interference is compensated for between the first wireless communication apparatus and the second wireless communication apparatus “on the fly” by selecting and operating according to one of a plurality of operational protocols.

15. An apparatus configured to perform wireless operation in a plurality of physical configurations, wherein the apparatus comprises:
-
a clamshell form factor; one or more wireless interfaces; a sensor configured to detect a position of at least one of the one or more wireless interfaces relative to a reference; a digital processor; and a storage apparatus having a storage medium with at least one computer program stored thereon, the at least one computer program comprising a plurality of computer executable instructions that when executed by the digital processor; based on the detected position of the sensor, determine a current configuration from the plurality of physical configurations of the apparatus, the current configuration comprising one of (i) an open-lid mode, and (ii) a closed-lid mode; and configure the one or more wireless interfaces based at least in part on the determined current configuration; wherein at least one of the one or more wireless interfaces turns on or off at least a portion of a co-existence scheme, based at least in part on the determined current configuration. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
