The technology disclosed herein includes an apparatus including an antenna, a plurality of wireless endpoints using the antenna, and a co-ex manager configured to measure an activity level of a wireless endpoint over a predetermined time period, compare the measured activity level of the wireless endpoint with a threshold activity level, and in response to the comparison, change an antenna operating mode of the wireless endpoint.

A method of communicating using a communications device, the method comprises determining a plurality of time periods during which a paging message may be received in a first wireless network, entering a connected mode in a second wireless network, transmitting an assistance information indication in the second wireless network, entering an idle mode in the second wireless network, and while in the idle mode in the second wireless network, receiving in the second wireless network a paging message at a paging time, wherein the assistance information indication is for permitting the second wireless network to determine the paging time for transmitting the paging message such that the communications device is able to receive the paging message at the paging time and is not prevented from receiving a paging message transmitted in the first wireless network during any of the plurality of time periods.

A method for detecting IDC. The method includes: determining, according to frequency point indication information sent by a base station, a carrier frequency point to be detected that needs IDC detection; determining, according to bandwidth indication information sent by the base station, a bandwidth to be detected corresponding to the carrier frequency point to be detected; determining, according to the carrier frequency point to be detected and the bandwidth to be detected, a frequency band to be detected; and detecting whether IDC exists or is to occur in the frequency band to be detected.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a technique for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The UE implements the technique to select a number of component carriers (CCs) in both a first frequency range and a second frequency range. The UE determines a schedule for performing search and measurement in the selected number of CCs. The UE performs search and measurement in the selected CCs according to the determined schedule.

A method is provided. The method includes obtaining, by UE, signal quality of a first cell operating on a first transmission carrier frequency. When the UE determines that the signal quality of the first cell is higher than a preset threshold, and the UE receives first indication information sent by the first cell, the method includes selecting, by the UE, the first cell as a serving cell, where the first indication information indicates that the first cell can control the UE to transmit device-to-device D2D service data on a second transmission carrier frequency, and the first transmission carrier frequency and the second transmission carrier frequency are located at different frequencies.

Various types of communication may switch from an unlicensed spectrum to a licensed spectrum. MiCr communication may be synchronized based on transmission time intervals (TTIs), which may improve the duration required to switch between bands. A MiCr system may transmit a signal to temporarily suspend other traffic in a licensed band so that MiCr communication may occur. For example, an apparatus may be configured to determine synchronization between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT based on transmission time intervals associated with the first RAT and transmission time intervals associated with the second RAT, switch from the first RAT to the second RAT after the determined synchronization between the first RAT the second RAT; and transmit, during a TTI associated with the second RAT, a first packet using the second RAT based on the switch from the first RAT to the second RAT.

A system and method for time division multiplexing using different radio access technologies is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first communication node includes: identifying a time division multiplex pattern that associates a plurality of time domain resources with: one of an uplink signal and a downlink signal, and one of at least two radio access technologies; receiving the uplink signal using at least one first associated time domain resource; and transmitting the downlink signal using at least one second associated time domain resource, wherein the plurality of time domain resources are sequential, and wherein at least one first and second associated time domain resources are associated with different radio access technologies.

The disclosure provides a multi-mode communication method, a terminal, and a computer readable storage medium thereof. The method may be applied to the terminal, where the terminal may support at least two communication modes and include at least two internal communication modules respectively corresponding to the at least two communication modes. The method may include sending, by the terminal, resource related information, where the sent resource related information includes resource related information of at least one of the at least two communication modes.

Aspects described herein relate to managing coexistence of multiple radio access technology (RAT) components in a device. Information related to an upcoming time period can be sent to a first radio access technology (RAT) component from a second RAT component. The first RAT component can select a resource to transmit a first RAT packet to minimize collision with the upcoming time period of the second RAT.

Various radio resource management techniques may be implemented to reduce in-device coexistence issues and/or interference between a Uu link established between a mobile device (first UE) and a base station (first NB), and a sidelink/PC5 link established between the first UE and another mobile device (second UE), where the second UE is served by a different base station (second NB). The first UE may receive, from the first NB, measurement configuration information that enables/configures the first UE to report to the NB any indication(s) of issues caused by communications between the first UE and the second UE over the PC5 link affecting communications between the first UE and the first NB over the Uu link, and/or communications over the Uu link affecting communications over the PC5 link. The first NB may analyze the feedback from the first UE and may implement mitigation measures to reduce/eliminate any interference and/or in-device-coexistence issues.
