Abstract:
1. A method for controlling communication in a mobile device, comprising: determining whether a potential for interference between a first communication on a first channel and a second communication on a second channel exceeds a threshold when: determining priorities for the first communication and the second communication to identify a higher priority communication and a lower priority communication; selecting a next highest power channel for the lower priority communication in response to determining that the potential for interference between the first communication and the second communication when only one of the first communication or the second communication is a transmission exceeds the threshold; determining whether a potential for interference between the first communication and the second communication exceeds the threshold when the lower priority communication uses the next highest power channel and only one of the first communication and the second communication is a transmission; and assigning the lower priority communication to the next highest power channel in response to determining that the potential for interference between the first communication and the second communication when the lower priority communication uses the next highest power channel does not exceed the threshold.
