Apparatus and method for mitigating voltage droop in a dual-transceiver wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication using a user equipment (UE) comprising a battery, a first transceiver and a second transceiver, the method comprising:
- determining that the first transceiver is scheduled to communicate using a first transmission simultaneous to the second transceiver being scheduled to communicate using a second transmission;
altering an operation of at least one of the first and second transceivers to mitigate battery voltage droop due to simultaneous transmissions of the transceivers; and
determining the operation to be altered based on a power control matrix per instant of simultaneous transmissions,wherein the power control matrix comprises operating states of the first and second transceivers during simultaneous transmissions, the operating states comprising an idle state, a circuit-switched (CS) connection state, a packet-switched (PS) connection state, and a dual transfer mode (DTM) connection state.
