Abstract

According to an aspect of this disclosure, a radio communication device is provided including: a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a Cellular Wide Area radio communication technology; a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a Short Range radio communication technology or a Metropolitan Area System radio communication technology; a processor configured to at least partially synchronize the receiving or transmitting of signals of the first transceiver with the receiving or transmitting of signals of the second transceiver such that at least one of at least a part of the receiving and a part of the transmitting of signals of the first transceiver and of the second transceiver is carried out at the same time.

Claims (53)

1. A wireless device, comprising:

a Bluetooth transceiver configured to transmit or receive Bluetooth signals with a peer Bluetooth transceiver; and

a Bluetooth controller configured to:

obtain a Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal transceiving pattern of an LTE transceiver, and

based on the LTE signal transceiving pattern of the LTE transceiver:

align the transmission of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver to occur within an uplink duration of the LTE transceiver based on a de-sensing target, or

align the reception of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver to occur within a downlink duration of the LTE transceiver based on the de-sensing target.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the LTE transceiver is an eNodeB.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second LTE transceiver; and

an LTE controller configured to provide the LTE signal transceiving pattern to the second LTE transceiver.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 ,

wherein the Bluetooth signal transmission by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs during the uplink duration of the LTE transceiver.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 ,

wherein the Bluetooth data reception by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs during the downlink duration of the LTE transceiver.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 ,

wherein interference between the Bluetooth transceiver and the LTE transceiver is reduced.

7. A method of performing wireless communication by a wireless device, the method comprising:

transmitting or receiving, by a Bluetooth transceiver, Bluetooth signals with a peer Bluetooth transceiver;

obtaining, by a Bluetooth controller, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal transceiving pattern of an LTE transceiver; and

based on the LTE signal transceiving pattern of the LTE transceiver:

aligning, by the Bluetooth controller, the transmitting of the Bluetooth signals to occur within an uplink duration of the LTE based on a de-sensing target, or

aligning, by the Bluetooth controller, the receiving of the Bluetooth signals to occur within a downlink duration of the LTE transceiver based on the de-sensing target.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the LTE transceiver is an eNodeB.

9. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the transmitting of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs during the uplink duration of the LTE transceiver.

10. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the receiving of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs during the downlink duration of the LTE transceiver.

11. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein interference between the Bluetooth transceiver and the LTE transceiver is reduced.

12. A non-transient computer readable medium having program instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of claim 7 .

13. A wireless device, comprising:

a Bluetooth transceiver configured to transmit or receive Bluetooth signals with a peer Bluetooth transceiver; and

a Bluetooth controller configured to:

obtain an uplink or downlink signal pattern of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, and

align the transmission of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver with the uplink signal pattern of the LTE based on a de-sensing target, or align the reception of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver with the downlink signal pattern of the LTE network based on the de-sensing target.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 ,

wherein the Bluetooth signal transmission by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs within a duration of the uplink LTE signal pattern of the LTE network.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 ,

wherein the Bluetooth signal reception by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs within a duration of the downlink LTE signal pattern of the LTE network.

16. The wireless device of claim 13 ,

wherein interference between the Bluetooth transceiver and the LTE network is reduced.

17. A method of performing wireless communication by a wireless device, the method comprising:

transmitting or receiving, by a Bluetooth transceiver, Bluetooth signals with a peer Bluetooth transceiver;

obtaining, by a Bluetooth controller, an uplink or downlink signal pattern of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network; and

aligning, by the Bluetooth controller, the transmission of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver with the uplink LTE signal pattern of the LTE network based on a de-sensing target, or aligning, by the Bluetooth controller, the reception of the Bluetooth signals by the Bluetooth transceiver with the downlink LTE signal pattern of the LTE network based on the de-sensing target.

18. The method of claim 17 ,

wherein the Bluetooth signal transmission by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs within a duration of the uplink LTE signal pattern of the LTE network.

19. The method of claim 17 ,

wherein the Bluetooth signal reception by the Bluetooth transceiver occurs within a duration of the downlink LTE signal pattern of the LTE network.

20. The method of claim 17 ,

wherein interference between the Bluetooth transceiver and the LTE network is reduced.

21. A non-transient computer readable medium having program instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of claim 17 .
