Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device with concurrent long-term evolution (LTE) and WLAN uplink transmission includes a WLAN transceiver coupled to an LTE transceiver via an interface. The LTE transceiver includes an LTE Layer-1 module that determines whether an LTE data downlink activity is scheduled for an LTE downlink sub-frame of an LTE time frame, based on information in a first portion of the LTE downlink sub-frame. When determination is made that the LTE data downlink activity is not scheduled for the LTE downlink sub-frame, a message may be communicated through the interface to notify the WLAN transceiver that the second portion of the LTE downlink sub-frame is available for WLAN communication. The LTE time frame includes multiple LTE downlink sub-frames each including the first portion and a second portion. The first portion provides the information that indicates whether the LTE data downlink activity is scheduled for the second portion of that LTE sub-frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for facilitating concurrent long-term evolution (LTE) and wireless local-area network (WLAN) transmission, the method comprising: determining whether an LTE data downlink activity is not scheduled for an LTE downlink sub-frame of an LTE time frame of an LTE transceiver, based on information in a first portion of the LTE downlink sub-frame, wherein the LTE time frame comprises a plurality of LTE downlink sub-frames, and each LTE downlink sub-frame in…
