Patent ID: 8583130

Claim:
A resource management circuit for a mobile telephone terminal, wherein the terminal includes a radio circuit and an antenna for transmitting and receiving bursts of radio frequency signals during time slots that have been respectively allocated for such transmission and reception and whose timing has been identified by a synchronization circuit of the terminal, the time slots divided into predetermined intervals of time with functions, the functions being one of essential and non-essential, wherein the resource management circuit is configured to: identify a predetermined point in time internal to a first time slot, the predetermined point in time corresponding to a change between an essential function and a non-essential function; in response to being at the predetermined point in time, change an operating mode of at least one device in the terminal, during the first time slot, between a first mode in which the at least one device interferes less with said transmission and reception and a second mode in which the at least one device interferes more with said transmission and reception.
