| 20080253352 | Communication in Dual Protocol Environments - A radio transceiver comprising: a signal receiver for receiving signals in the form of bursts according to a first protocol; a transmitter for transmitting signals in the form of bursts according to a second protocol, the first and second protocols being such that signals of the first and second protocols are mutually interfering; a transmission scheduler for predicting, based on the timings of signal bursts of the first protocol received by the receiver, the timings of future bursts of the first protocol and arranged to influence the transmitter to transmit bursts according to the second protocol so as to avoid the signal bursts of the first protocol as predicted. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090016374 | Asynchronous Coexistence Arbitration - A method for interpreting timing information at a communication support entity operable to communicate wirelessly, includes the steps of: at a first time at the communication support entity, receiving an indicator of a predetermined form over a link from another communication support entity; receiving over the link data representing one or more relative times; interpreting each such relative time represented by the received data as indicating the absolute time that is offset after the first time by the respective relative time together optionally with a latency value; and determining in dependence on the received data the manner in which the communication support entity is to communicate wirelessly at that absolute time. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100182981 | Adaptive Scheduling - A communication device arranged to communicate data with another device at a given time instant according to either a first communication protocol or a second communication protocol, the communication device being constrained to transmit data according to the first communication protocol during a transmission window of predetermined duration that commences at a predetermined time instant and being arranged to, in dependence on a data communication according to the second communication protocol to be made by the communication device during that transmission window, select a time instant in that same transmission window for commencing a data transmission according to the first communication protocol. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100226348 | UWB COEXISTENCE SCHEME - Roughly described, a first radio is configured to operate according to a first protocol and configured to use a coexistence signaling scheme with a second radio configured to operate according to a second protocol, wherein the coexistence signaling scheme is configured to allow a radio configured to operate according to the second protocol to be co-located and non-interfering with a radio configured to operate according to a protocol different to the first protocol, and wherein the first radio comprises behavioral logic for generating messages for the second radio in accordance with the coexistence signaling scheme to cause the second radio to adopt behavior suitable for coexistence with the first radio. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100254495 | TREATING CARRIER-SPECIFIC INTERFERENCE - A receiver for receiving data carried by multiple carriers, the receiver having: estimation means for forming an estimate of the reliability with which data from one or more of the carriers is received as distinct from the reliability with which data from one or more other of the carriers is received; and a decoder arranged for forming an estimate of the symbols represented by the data received from the carriers in dependence on the estimate of reliability. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100311455 | Distributed Arbitration - A communication unit for communicating data in dependence on a priority associated with a data communication to be made by that communication unit and on a priority associated with a data communication to be made by another communication unit, the communication unit being arranged to assign a priority to a data communication to be made by the communication unit, make an adjustment to the priority to form an adjusted priority, the adjustment being independent of an adjustment made by the other communication unit to a priority assigned to a data communication to be made by that communication unit and communicate the adjusted priority to the other communication unit as being the priority associated with the data communication to be made by the communication unit. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110013612 | Protocol Coexistence - A communication device having: a first communication unit for transmitting and/or receiving by a first protocol acknowledgements for data received by the device; a second communication unit for transmitting data units of a second protocol, the first and second protocols being such that the data units of the second protocol can interfere with the acknowledgements of the first protocol; and a controller configured to control the device such that, when a data unit of the second protocol is being transmitted by the second communication unit and the first communication unit is to transmit or receive an acknowledgement of the first protocol: the second communication unit interrupts the transmission of the data unit of the second protocol, the first communication unit transmits or receives the acknowledgement of the first protocol and the second transmitter resumes transmission of the data unit of the second protocol from the point that transmission of the data unit would have reached if it had not been interrupted. | 01-20-2011 |
