Claim:
1. A method for avoiding in-device coexistence interference on a user equipment having a first wireless communication circuitry and a second wireless communication circuitry, the method comprising: receiving, via a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pin at the second wireless communication circuitry of the user equipment, GPIO signal including time-division multiplexing (TDM) assistance information having information relating to a status of operation and a configuration of wireless communication of the first wireless communication circuitry; predicting, at the second wireless communication circuitry of the user equipment, an operational status of the first wireless communication circuitry of the user equipment based on the GPIO signal, wherein predicting the operational status of the first wireless communication circuitry comprises: in response to determining that the operational status of the first wireless communication circuitry is transmission, restricting the second wireless communication circuitry of the user equipment from receiving data; in response to determining that the operational status of the first wireless communication circuitry is reception, restricting the second wireless communication circuitry of the user equipment from transmitting data; and transmitting or receiving the data via the second wireless communicating circuitry based on the restrictions.
