1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- using a receive chain for both Bluetooth (BT) communications and wireless wide area network (WWAN) cell search and/or measurements;
detecting a BT link quality for the BT communications that use the receive chain; and
adjusting a periodicity of the WWAN cell search and/or measurements based at least in part on the BT link quality, wherein the WWAN cell search and/or measurements use the receive chain used for the BT communications, wherein the adjusting the periodicity of the WWAN search cell and/or measurements comprises increasing the periodicity of the WWAN cell search and/or measurements as the BT link quality decreases.

Abstract
A UE may use a same antenna for both Bluetooth communications and WWAN cell search and measurement operations. In order to avoid interference, the UE may adjust the periodicity of the WWAN cell search and measurement operations. Adjustment of the WWAN cell search and measurement periodicity may be based on a link quality of the Bluetooth communications.
