Abstract

An apparatus and method for implementing a system solution for co-existence between a first service and a second service including accepting a first service selection for a first wireless system on a mobile terminal; performing a data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal; accepting a second service selection for a second wireless system on the mobile terminal; implementing a suspension of the data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal; and redirecting the data transport using a different wireless system.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for implementing a system solution for coexistence between a first service and a second service comprising:
accepting a first service selection for a first wireless cellular system on a mobile terminal;
performing a data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal;
accepting a second service selection for a second wireless cellular system on the mobile terminal, wherein a channel of the second wireless cellular system used by the second service interferes with a channel of the first wireless cellular system used by the first service;
implementing a suspension of the data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal based on accepting the second service selection,
the suspension of the data transport being implemented by the mobile terminal setting an identifier for the mobile terminal that indicates not to use the first wireless cellular system;

causing the data transport to be redirected using a third wireless cellular system, different than the first wireless cellular system and the second wireless cellular system, that permits the first service to coexist with the second service; and
clearing the suspension.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
commencing the second service selection on the mobile terminal,
the first service using the third wireless cellular system coexisting with the second service using the second wireless cellular system.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein clearing the suspension includes:
clearing the suspension of the data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal after completion of the second service selection.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first wireless cellular system is based on a LTE system.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second wireless cellular system is based on a forward link only wireless broadcast system.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the suspension includes:
clearing the identifier for the mobile terminal or is performed by a mobile terminal scheduler that indicates not to use the first wireless cellular system.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is a Class Mark identifier.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the suspension of the data transport is implemented by a mobile terminal scheduler.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third wireless cellular system is based on one of the following: 1x-EVDO, UMTS or GSM.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the channel of the second wireless cellular system used by the second service interferes with the channel of the first wireless cellular system used by the first service due to at least one of a shared radio band or an adjacent channel interference.

11. An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing program code executable by the processor to:
accept a first service selection for a first wireless cellular system on a mobile terminal;
perform a data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal;
accept a second service selection for a second wireless cellular system on the mobile terminal, wherein a channel of the second wireless cellular system used by a second service interferes with a channel of the first wireless cellular system used by a first service;
implement a suspension of the data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal based on the second service selection being accepted,
the suspension of the data transport being implemented by the mobile terminal setting an identifier for the mobile terminal that indicates not to use the first wireless cellular system;

cause the data transport to be redirected using a third wireless cellular system, different than the first wireless cellular system and the second wireless cellular system, that permits the first service to coexist with the second service; and
clear the suspension.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the memory further comprises program code that causes the processor to commence the second service selection on the mobile terminal.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the memory further comprises program code that causes the processor to clear the suspension of the data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal after completion of the second service selection.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first wireless cellular system is based on a LTE system.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the second wireless cellular system is based on a forward link only wireless broadcast system.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor, when clearing the suspension, is to:
clear the identifier for the mobile terminal that indicates not to use the first wireless cellular system.

17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the identifier is a Class Mark identifier.

18. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the suspension of the data transport is implemented by a mobile terminal scheduler.

19. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the third wireless cellular system is based on one of the following: 1x-EVDO, UMTS or GSM.

20. An apparatus for implementing a system solution for coexistence between a first service and a second service comprising:
means for accepting a first service selection for a first wireless cellular system on a mobile terminal;
means for performing a data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal;
means for accepting a second service selection for a second wireless cellular system on the mobile terminal, wherein a channel of the second wireless cellular system used by the second service interferes with a channel of the first wireless cellular system used by the first service;
means for implementing a suspension of the data transport using the first service selection on the mobile terminal based on accepting the second service selection,
the suspension of the data transport being implemented by the mobile terminal setting an identifier for the mobile terminal that indicates not to use the first wireless cellular system;

means for causing the data transport to be redirected using a third wireless cellular system, different than the first wireless cellular system and the second wireless cellular system, that permits the first service to coexist with the second service; and
means for clearing the suspension.

21. The apparatus of claim 20 , further comprising:
means for commencing the second service selection on the mobile terminal.

22. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the means for clearing the suspension of the data transport include means for using the first service selection on the mobile terminal after completion of the second service selection.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the first wireless cellular system is based on a LTE system.

24. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the second wireless cellular system is based on a forward link only wireless broadcast system.

25. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the means for clearing of the suspension includes means for clearing the identifier for the mobile terminal that indicates not to use the first wireless cellular system.

26. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the identifier is a Class Mark identifier.

27. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the suspension of the data transport is implemented by a mobile terminal scheduler.
