    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may communicate using different radio access technologies on adjacent frequency bands. The UE may determine that the UE is not receiving wireless signals for a second radio access technology that utilizes a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band for a first radio access technology. The UE may place a transmitter of the UE in a filter bypass mode in which a transmit signal bypasses a transmit filter for the first radio access technology in response to determining that the wireless signals for the second radio access technology are not received. The UE may scan, using a receiver for the second radio access technology, while in the filter bypass mode, the second frequency band for a signal for the second radio access technology between scheduled transmissions for the first radio access technology.

    Abstract: An antenna system includes: a radiating element; a feed coupled to the radiating element at a first point on the radiating element and configured to convey energy to the radiating element; and a radiation-adjustment device coupled to the radiating element at a second point, configured to alter a radiation characteristic of the radiating element, and including: coarse-adjustment elements; an integrated-circuit chip including: switches, each coupled to a respective one of the coarse-adjustment elements where the coarse-adjustment elements are disposed external to the integrated-circuit chip; and a fine-adjustment circuit; the antenna system further including a controller communicatively coupled to the switches and to the fine-adjustment circuit, the controller configured to alter the radiation characteristic of the radiating element by selectively causing one or more of the switches to couple one or more of the coarse-adjustment elements to the radiating element, and by adjusting a value of the fine-adjustment circuit.

    Abstract: Device antennas may be allocated such that a non-LTE module (e.g., GSM module or 1x module) shares the same antenna with an LTE DRx module. This may lead to degradation of a non-LTE voice service when the LTE DRx module performs LTE transmit antenna selection causing the non-LTE module to be switched to a different antenna during reception/transmission of voice slots, resulting in a loss of slots. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for controlling antenna switching are provided. The apparatus facilitates a first radio module to use a first antenna for performing a first operation, detects that a second radio module will attempt to use the first antenna during transmit antenna selection for performing a second operation, and determines whether to switch use of the first antenna from the first radio module to the second radio module based on a type of the first operation.
