Patent ID: 8879999

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a first transceiver configured to communicate in a Long Term Evolution channel, wherein the Long Term Evolution channel is divided into first, second, and third frequency regions; wherein the second region (i) is between the first and third regions, (ii) has a greater bandwidth than the first and third regions, (ii) is used to allocate a Long Term Evolution data channel, and (iii) is characterized by out-of-band emission on frequencies outside a channel bandwidth; and wherein the first and third regions (i) are used to allocate a Long Term Evolution control channel, and (ii) are characterized by spurious emission on frequencies outside the channel bandwidth, wherein the spurious emission (i) excludes the out-of-band emission and (ii) is a wideband emission relative to the out-of-band emission; the first transceiver comprising a controller configured to select one of the first, second, and third frequency regions; and a transmitter configured to transmit, according to a first protocol, first wireless signals in the selected frequency region; an arbiter configured to select, based on the selected frequency region, one or more frequency channels in (i) the second frequency region or (ii) the first and third frequency regions; and a second transceiver configured to transceive, according to a second protocol, second wireless signals only in the one or more frequency channels selected by the arbiter.
