Abstract

A wireless communication device for transceiving heterogeneous radio-frequency (RF) signals is provided. The wireless communication device includes a first antenna, a second antenna, a first transceiver, a second transceiver and a controller. The first transceiver controls the first antenna through a first transceiving path to transceive a first RF signal according to a first wireless communication standard. The second transceiver controls the second antenna through a second transceiving path to transceive a second RF signal according to a second wireless communication standard. In a joining process when the wireless communication device establishes connection to an end device according to the second wireless communication standard, the controller reduces transmission power for transmitting the first RF signal, or reduces sensitivity for receiving the second RF signal.

Claims (33)

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a first antenna, for transceiving a first radio-frequency (RF) signal according to a first wireless communication standard;

a first transceiver, connected to the first antenna through a first transceiving path;

a second antenna, for transceiving a second RF signal according to a second wireless communication standard; and

a second transceiver, connected to the second antenna through a second transceiving path, wherein the second transceiving path comprises:

a reception path, electrically connected to the second transceiver and the second antenna, comprising:

a first RF switch;

a second RF switch, electrically connected to the first RF switch; and

an attenuator, electrically connected to the first RF switch and the second RF switch,

wherein the wireless communication device reduces sensitivity for receiving the second RF signal in a joining process when establishing a connection to an end device according to the second wireless communication standard, wherein,

in the joining process, the first RF switch conducts to the second RF switch through the attenuator; and

in a period other than the joining process, the first RF switch conducts to the second RF switch directly.

2. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a first antenna, for transceiving a first RF signal according to a first wireless communication standard;

a first transceiver, connected to the first antenna through a first transceiving path;

a second antenna, for transceiving a second RF signal according to a second wireless communication standard; and

a second transceiver, connected to the second antenna through a second transceiving path,

wherein the wireless communication device reduces transmission power for transmitting the first RF signal or reduces sensitivity for receiving the second RF signal in a joining process when establishing a connection to an end device according to the second wireless communication standard;

wherein the first transceiving path comprises:

a third antenna, for transceiving the first RF signal according to the first wireless communication standard; and

a RF switch, electrically connected to the third antenna and the first transceiver; wherein

in the joining process, the RF switch disconnects the third antenna from the first transceiver, and the first transceiver transmits the RF signal through the first antenna;

in a period other than the joining process, the RF switch conducts the third antenna to the first transceiver, and the first transceiver transmits the first RF signal jointly through the first antenna and the third antenna.

3. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a first antenna, for transceiving a first RF signal according to a first wireless communication standard;

a first transceiver, connected to the first antenna through a first transceiving path;

a second antenna, for transceiving a second RF signal according to a second wireless communication standard; and

a second transceiver, connected to the second antenna through a second transceiving path,

wherein the wireless communication device reduces transmission power for transmitting the first RF signal or reduces sensitivity for receiving the second RF signal in a joining process when establishing a connection to an end device according to the second wireless communication standard;

wherein the first antenna comprises a first sub-antenna and a second sub-antenna, transmission power of the first sub-antenna is greater than transmission power of the second sub-antenna, and the first transceiving path comprises:

a RF switch, electrically connected to the first transceiver, the first sub-antenna and the second sub-antenna, wherein

in the joining process, the RF switch conducts the first transceiver to the second sub-antenna; and

in a period other than the joining process, the RF switch conducts the first transceiver to the first sub-antenna.
