Systems and methods for selecting between coexistence modes in a wireless device
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using a first antenna, according to a first communication protocol;
a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using a second antenna, according to the first communication protocol;
a third transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using the second antenna, according to a second communication protocol that is different than the first communication protocol; and
a controller configured to select between a first mode and a second mode, whereinin the first mode, the first transceiver, the second transceiver, and the third transceiver are configured to respectively transmit and receive using the first antenna and the second antenna at a same time, andin the second mode, the first transceiver, the second transceiver, and the third transceiver are configured to respectively transmit and receive using the first antenna and the second antenna at different times,wherein, in each of the first mode and the second mode, the controller is further configured to selectively allow the second transceiver to transmit and receive using the second antenna at a same time as the third transceiver transmits and receives using the second antenna.

Abstract
A device including a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using a first antenna, according to a first communication protocol, a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using a second antenna, according to the first communication protocol, and a third transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using the second antenna, according to a second communication protocol. A controller is configured to select between a first mode where the first, second, and third transceivers are configured to respectively communicate using the first and second antennas at a same time, and a second mode where the first, second, and third transceivers are configured to respectively communicate using the first and second antennas at different times. In the first mode and the second mode, the controller is further configured to selectively allow the second transceiver to transmit and receive using the second antenna at a same time as the third transceiver.

13. A method of operating a device, wherein the device includes (i) a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive, in accordance with a first communication protocol, via a first antenna, (ii) a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive, in accordance with a second communication protocol, via a second antenna, and (iii) a third transceiver configured to transmit and receive, in accordance with a third communication protocol, via the second antenna, and wherein the device configured to operate in one of a first mode or a second mode, the method comprising:
-
while operating in the first mode, using each of (i) the first transceiver, (ii) the second transceiver, and (iii) the third transceiver, respectively transmitting and receiving using the first antenna and the second antenna at a same time; while operating in the second mode, using each of (i) the first transceiver, (ii) the second transceiver, and (iii) the third transceiver, respectively transmitting and receiving using the first antenna and the second antenna at different times; and while operating in each of the first mode and the second mode, selectively allowing the second transceiver to transmit and receive using the second antenna at a same time as the third transceiver transmits and receives using the second antenna. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
