1. A method for reducing radio frequency interference between a first device and a second device co-located on a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the UE, to a network element, responsive to the UE detecting in-device coexistence (IDC) interference between the first device and the second device, an output power level of the first device, an amount of de-sense experienced by the second device, and information regarding a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) on which the UE requests to perform an uplink transmission,wherein the information regarding the plurality of RBs comprises one of;
a start index and a stop index for the plurality of RBs;
a start index and a number of RBs for the plurality of RBs;
ora stop index and a number of RBs for the plurality of RBs; and
wherein, when a decrease occurs in the number of RBs on which the UE transmits in the uplink responsive to the UE'"'"'s transmission of the output power level of the first device, the amount of de-sense experienced by the second device, and the information regarding the plurality of RBs, an increase occurs in the UE'"'"'s uplink transmission rate, the increase being achieved by an increase in the number of scheduling requests made by the UE.

Abstract
A method is provided for reducing radio frequency interference between a first device and a second device co-located on a UE. The method comprises transmitting, by the UE, to a network element, responsive to the UE detecting IDC interference between the first device and the second device, an output power level of the first device, an amount of de-sense experienced by the second device, and information regarding a plurality of RBs on which the UE requests to perform an uplink transmission.

8. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
-
a processor configured such that the UE transmits, to a network element, responsive to the UE detecting in-device coexistence (IDC) interference between a first device and a second device co-located on the UE, an output power level of the first device, an amount of de-sense experienced by the second device, and information regarding a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) on which the UE requests to perform an uplink transmission, wherein the information regarding the plurality of RBs comprises one of; a start index and a stop index for the plurality of RBs; a start index and a number of RBs for the plurality of RBs;
ora stop index and a number of RBs for the plurality of RBs; and
wherein, when a decrease occurs in the number of RBs on which the UE transmits in the uplink responsive to the UE'"'"'s transmission of the output power level of the first device, the amount of de-sense experienced by the second device, and the information regarding the plurality of RBs, an increase occurs in the UE'"'"'s uplink transmission rate, the increase being achieved by an increase in the number of scheduling requests made by the UE. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A network element comprising:
a processor configured such that, responsive to receiving from a user equipment (UE) an output power level of a first device on the UE, an amount of de-sense experienced by a second device on the UE, and information regarding a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) requested by the UE for uplink transmission, the network element grants at least a portion of the requested RBs to the UE;
wherein the information regarding the plurality of RBs comprises one of;
a start index and a stop index for the plurality of RBs;
a start index and a number of RBs for the plurality of RBs;
or a stop index and a number of RBs for the plurality of RBs; and
wherein, when the network element decreases the number of RBs granted to the UE responsive to receiving the output power level of the first device, the amount of de-sense experienced by the second device, and the information regarding plurality of RBs requested by the UE, the network element increases the number of uplink grants to the UE in order to increase the UE'"'"'s uplink transmission rate.- View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
