Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communications by a wireless device, comprising: scheduling a first antenna at the wireless device for communication using one of a first radio access technology (RAT) or a second RAT; scheduling one or more other antennas at the wireless device configured for communication using the first RAT, for communication using the second RAT in order to enable one of transmit or receive diversity on the second RAT or simultaneous communication using the first RAT and the second RAT; and transmitting an idle-mode indication to force the first RAT to an idle mode, wherein the idle-mode indication comprises a duration for which the first RAT must maintain the idle mode, and wherein the duration of the idle mode is set such that a transmission of a subsequent idle-mode indication lies within a scheduling period of an uplink subframe or a downlink subframe with no scheduled downlink grant.
