Patent ID: 8706054

Claim:
A device comprising: a first receiver that communicates using a plurality of communication bands; a first transmitter that communicates using the plurality of communication bands; a second receiver that communicates using a first communication band of the plurality of communication bands, wherein the second receiver is selectively activated; a data storage structure that stores data related to operational capabilities of the first receiver and the first transmitter, the operational capabilities comprising a 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 that controls operation of the first receiver and the first transmitter by selecting a communication band from the set of communication bands based on the data in the data structure when the second receiver is selectively activated, wherein the first receiver and the first transmitter communicate using an initial communication band of the plurality of communication bands when the second receiver is not activated, and wherein the controller alters 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 set of communication bands when the second receiver is activated.
