Abstract

A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus operate to reduce or eliminate interference with one or more other communication systems having specific transmission requirements within a specific geographic area. For example, aspects operate by determining that a user equipment (UE) is in a protection zone where additional transmission requirements apply. The additional transmission requirements enable coexistence with one or more other communication systems in the protection zone. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and a coexistence mode, one or more transmit emission limit requirements to be met. The UE may identify, based on being in the protection zone and the coexistence mode, one or more maximum transmit power requirements to be met. The UE may configure a transmit output power, at which the UE can meet the one or more transmit emission limit requirements and the one or more maximum transmit power requirements.

Claims (42)

1. A method of managing transmissions of a user equipment, the method comprising:

by one or more processors of the user equipment:

obtaining data defining a plurality of geographic zones;

based on the obtained data defining the plurality of geographic zones, determining that the user equipment is located in a first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones; and

based on the determining that the user equipment is located in the first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones:

selecting a first mode of a plurality of modes, each mode of the plurality of modes including a transmit power requirement, a transmit emission requirement, and a duty cycle requirement; and

transmitting a wireless signal that complies with a transmit power requirement of the selected first mode, a transmit emission requirement of the selected first mode, and a duty cycle requirement of the selected first mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of modes comprise coexistence modes configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of modes comprise coexistence modes configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, configuring, by the one or more processors of the user equipment, a transmit output power at which the user equipment can meet the transmit emission limit requirement for the first mode and the maximum transmit power requirement for the first mode.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein configuring the transmit output power includes selecting a backoff from a maximum output power of the user equipment.

6. A method of managing transmissions of a user equipment, the method comprising:

by one or more processors of the user equipment:

obtaining data defining a plurality of geographic zones;

based on the obtained data defining the plurality of geographic zones, determining that the user equipment is located in a first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones; and

based on the determining that the user equipment is located in the first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones:

selecting a maximum transmit power requirement;

selecting a maximum transmit emission requirement; and

transmitting a wireless signal that complies with the selected maximum transmit power requirement and the selected maximum transmit emission requirement.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the selected maximum transmit power requirement and the selected maximum transmit emission requirement are configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the selected maximum transmit power requirement and the selected maximum transmit emission requirement are configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range.

9. A user equipment, comprising:

a memory storing computer-executable instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain data defining a plurality of geographic zones;

based on the obtained data defining the plurality of geographic zones, determine that the user equipment is located in a first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones; and

based on the determining that the user equipment is located in the first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones:

select a first mode of a plurality of modes, each mode of the plurality of modes including a transmit power requirement, a transmit emission requirement, and a duty cycle requirement; and

transmit a wireless signal that complies with a transmit power requirement of the selected first mode, a transmit emission requirement of the selected first mode, and a duty cycle requirement of the selected first mode.

10. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of modes comprise coexistence modes configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range.

11. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of modes comprise coexistence modes configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range.

12. A user equipment, comprising:

a memory storing computer-executable instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain data defining a plurality of geographic zones;

based on the obtained data defining the plurality of geographic zones, determine that the user equipment is located in a first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones; and

based on the determining that the user equipment is located in the first geographic zone of the plurality of geographic zones:

select a maximum transmit power requirement;

select a maximum transmit emission requirement; and

transmit a wireless signal that complies with the selected maximum transmit power requirement and the selected maximum transmit emission requirement.

13. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein the selected maximum transmit power requirement and the selected maximum transmit emission requirement are configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range.

14. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein the selected maximum transmit power requirement and the selected maximum transmit emission requirement are configured to facilitate coexistence among one or more wireless signals transmitted in a first frequency range and one or more wireless signals transmitted by one or more wireless devices in a different second frequency range.
