Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a first receiver configured to communicate using a plurality of communication bands; a first transmitter configured to communicate using the plurality of communication bands; a second receiver selectively activated and configured to communicate using a first communication band of the plurality of communication bands; a data storage structure configured to store data related to operational capabilities of the first receiver and the first transmitter, the operational capabilities including a limited set of communication bands of the plurality of communication bands on which the first receiver and the first transmitter can communicate when the second receiver is selectively activated; and a controller configured to control operation of the first receiver and first transmitter by selecting a communication band from the limited set of communication bands based on the data in the data structure if the second receiver is selectively activated; wherein the first receiver and the first transmitter are communicating using an initial communication band of the plurality of communication bands when the second receiver is not activated and, when the second receiver is activated, the controller is further configured to alter the initial communication band on which the first receiver and the first transmitter are communicating if the initial communication band is not one of the limited set of communication bands when the second receiver is selectively activated.
