Patent ID: 8538340

Claim:
A method of mitigating interference in a mobile wireless communication device, the method comprising: evaluating interference between signals received by a first transceiver of the mobile wireless communication device through a first connection that uses a first frequency band and signals transmitted by a second transceiver of the mobile wireless communication device through a second connection that uses a second frequency band, wherein the first frequency band is higher in frequency than the second frequency band; changing the first connection to exclude a portion of the first frequency band used by the first transceiver based on the evaluated interference; and repeating periodically the evaluating and changing while the first and second connections are active; wherein higher order harmonics of transmissions in the second frequency band overlap at least a portion of the first frequency band received by the first transceiver; and wherein evaluating the interference between signals received by the first transceiver and the signals transmitted by the second transceiver depends on a power spectrum of signals transmitted by the second transceiver, and a performance level of the first transceiver.
