Abstract:
An inter-device interference mitigation system, method, and device. The device includes a first transceiver, a second transceiver, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive an interference policy and receive information from a second electronic communications device to determine an interference potential. The electronic processor compares the interference potential to a predetermined interference threshold. When the interference potential exceeds the predetermined interference threshold, the electronic processor performs at least one action selected from the group consisting of adjusting a power output of the first transceiver, generating a user notice including instructions to move or adjust an operation of either one or both of the electronic communications device and the second electronic communications device, affecting an operation of an application present on either one or both of the electronic communications devices, and modifying a transmission of either one or both of the electronic communications devices.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system are provided for mitigating interference between two communication sessions based on a determined geographical proximity of two mobile devices (MDs) to each other. In one embodiment, a geographical proximity is determined of a first MD, engaged in a first communication session, to a second MD, engaged in a second communication session. Based on the determined geographical proximity, one of the two communication sessions is transferred to the other MD so that both communication sessions are resident at, and can be controlled by, a same MD. In other embodiments, wherein a first MD is engaged in two communication sessions, one of the two communication sessions may be transferred to a second MD that is sufficiently geographically distant from the first MD or the first MD may use a geographically distant remote wireless device as an uplink and downlink relay device for one of the communication sessions.
Abstract:
A method for reducing radiofrequency interference in a mobile communications device. The method includes receiving, by a first mobile communications device, a frequency message including a frequency band of a second mobile communications device. The method further includes determining, by an electronic processor of the first mobile communications device, whether the frequency band of the second mobile communications device conflicts with an operating frequency band of the first mobile communications device. The method further includes generating, by the electronic processor, an interference message, including a proposed mitigation action, when the frequency band conflicts with the operating frequency band. The frequency band and the operating frequency band each may be a long-term evolution frequency band or a land-mobile radio frequency band.

Abstract:
Device and method for seamless workflow between mobile applications on portable device. One device includes a display and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to associate a set of applications to each other within a folder stored on the device and assign each application a priority relative to the other applications. The electronic processor is configured to receive a first user input selecting the folder and activate the set of applications in a background of an operating system of the portable device and present a first indication of a first application based on the priority of the first application relative to the other applications. The electronic processor is configured to receive a second user input; and navigate to a first indication of a second application based on the priority of the second application relative to the other applications and a navigation direction.

Abstract:
A Long Term Evolution (LTE) Concentrator and Distributor system and method extends geographical coverage while minimizing Evolved Node B (eNB) deployments. The system and method use a distributed array of Wide Band Receiver Transmitter (WBRT) devices (i.e., RF Heads, RFH, including antennas) connected via wide-band links to a central standard LTE eNB through a novel LTE Concentrator-Distributor (LTE-CD) which is an uplink (smart optimal) concentrator and downlink simulcast distributor. The eNB downlink signal (baseband or modulated RF) is distributed in synchronization (simulcast) through the LTE-CD to all WBRTs for downlink simulcast transmission to all UEs in the coverage area. The WBRTs receive uplink signals from user equipment, UE, devices in a coverage area, send the uplink signals (baseband or modulated RF) to the LTE-CD which optimally combines all received signals into one best uplink signal that is sent (in baseband or modulated RF) to the eNB.
