Multi-radio coexistence of a broadband radio and a broadcast stream receiver that receives broadcast stream data
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- identifying, at an upper layer of a multi-radio user equipment (UE), a type of incoming broadcast stream data of a one-way communication only broadcast stream receiver;
determining a coexistence policy for operation of a broadband radio and the one-way communication only broadcast stream receiver within the multi-radio UE based on the identified type of the incoming broadcast stream data;
arbitrating, at a lower layer of the multi-radio UE, between communication resources based on the determined coexistence policy in which transmission by the broadband radio is prioritized over reception by the one-way communication only broadcast stream receiver; and
overriding the determined coexistence policy in which transmission by the broadband radio is prioritized when the identified type of the incoming broadcast stream data of the one-way communication only broadcast stream receiver is reference video frame data in which the reference video frame data is one of a predicted frame (P-frame) and an intra-frame (I-frame), andwherein a non-reference frame data is a backward predicted frame (B-frame).

Abstract
A multi-radio device, such as User Equipment (UE), may experience coexistence issues among various ones of its constituent radio devices that operate at the same time. Various aspects of the disclosure provide techniques to mitigate coexistence issues in multi-radio devices, where significant in-device coexistence problems can exist. In particular, a method for coexistence of multi-radio devices is described. The method includes identifying, at an upper layer of a multi-radio UE, a type of incoming broadcast stream data. The method further includes determining a coexistence policy for operation of communication resources within the multi-radio UE based on the type of the incoming broadcast stream data. The method also includes arbitrating, at a lower layer of the multi-radio UE, between the communication resources based on the coexistence policy.
