Claim:
1. A method for managing coexistence of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver with a radio access technology (RAT) transceiver, the method comprising: receiving, by a coexistence manager, from the RAT transceiver, an indication of a characteristic of the RAT transceiver for a scheduled operating event; determining, by the coexistence manager, that signals from a sufficient number of space vehicles will not be acquired based on the characteristic of the RAT transceiver received by the coexistence manager; transmitting, by the coexistence manager, a message to the RAT transceiver that recommends limiting a transmit power level for the scheduled operating event such that signals from the sufficient number of space vehicles will be acquired during the operating event of the RAT transceiver; selecting, by the coexistence manager, a space vehicle of a GNSS to use for a location determination by the GNSS receiver based on the characteristic of the RAT transceiver; receiving, by the GNSS receiver, a signal from the space vehicle of the GNSS during the operating event of the RAT transceiver; and performing, by the GNSS receiver, the location determination using the signal received from the space vehicle of the GNSS received during the operating event of the RAT transceiver.
