Adjustment of bluetooth (BT) golden reception range in the presence of long term evolution (LTE) interference
View Patent ↗Described herein are methods, architectures and platforms for adjusting a reception range at which remote devices transmit to a Bluetooth receiver, by determining wireless radio interference to the Bluetooth receiver. The reception range is adjusted per the wireless radio interference.
1. A method of adjusting a reception range for a Bluetooth (BT) radio collocated with a wireless radio comprising:
determining a current reception range for one or more remote devices to connect with the BT radio;
determining noise level from the wireless radio affecting the BT radio;
updating the current reception range with the determined noise level; and
determining whether to change the reception range based on the difference of the current reception range and the updated reception range.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining noise level is performed with wireless radio transmission.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining noise level accounting for low power channel transmission.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining noise level is performed when wireless radio transmission is inactive.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining noise level is performed using non real time (NRT) information received by the wireless radio.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating wireless radio traffic as to determined noise level.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the desired reception range for the BT radio is performed periodically.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the determined reception range to the one or more remote devices to allow the one or more remote devices to transmit in the determined reception range.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless radio is a 4G/LTE radio.
10. A wireless device comprising:
one or more processors;
memory configured to the one or more processors;
a wireless radio configured to the one or more processors and memory, and configured to communicate with a network, that receives uplink and downlink traffic from the network, wherein noise measurement is determined when the wireless radio is operating;
a Bluetooth (BT) radio collocated with the wireless radio, configured to communicate with one or more remote devices, wherein the BT radio provides a transmission power to the one or more remote devices to transmit, the reception range adjusted per the noise measurement of the wireless radio.
11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the noise measurement is determined when the wireless radio is transmitting.
12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless radio communicates over one or more low power channels to the network, and noise measurement accounts for transmission over the one or more low power channels.
13. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the noise measurement is determined when the wireless radio is inactive.
14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless radio and BT radio communicate and exchange information over one or more dedicated interfaces.
15. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless radio receives non real time (NRT) messages related to noise level.
16. Non-transitory computer readable media to perform a method comprising:
determining a reception range for one or more remote devices to connect with a Bluetooth (BT) radio;
determining noise level from a collocated wireless radio affecting the BT radio;
adjusting the reception range with the determined noise level; and
changing the reception range if a difference as to a set threshold is determined.
17. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , wherein the noise level is determined when the wireless radio is not transmitting.
18. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , wherein the noise level is determined when the wireless radio is transmitting.
19. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , further comprising receiving of non real time (NRT) information as to noise level.
20. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , further comprising providing the changed reception range to the one or more remote devices to allow the one or more remote devices to transmit in the determined reception range.
