First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- determining when communications of a first device using a first radio access technology (RAT) experience interference from communications of a second device using a second RAT;
receiving, from the first device, information regarding a first channel quality when experiencing the interference, information regarding a second channel quality when not experiencing the interference, and a duty cycle of a length of time of the interference;
determining a channel capacity based on the information regarding the first and second channel quality and the duty cycle; and
altering the communications of the second device to reduce the interference, in which the altering comprises controlling a transmission rate to the second device based at least on the determined channel capacity.

Abstract
A device in a wireless system may determine when communications of a first radio access technology (RAT) experience interference from communications of a second RAT and may alter the communications of at least the first RAT or the second RAT to reduce the interference. In some instances, altering the communications include controlling a transmission rate to the second RAT based at least on a determined channel capacity.
