Patent ID: 8908656

Claim:
A method for wireless communications, comprising: allowing communications using a first radio access technology (RAT) of a user equipment; commencing a first connection setup procedure of the first RAT; estimating a signal quality of the first RAT during the first connection setup procedure while a second RAT of the user equipment is transmitting; estimating a signal quality of the first RAT while the second RAT is not transmitting; comparing the estimated signal quality of the first RAT during the first connection setup procedure while the second RAT is transmitting to the estimated signal quality of the first RAT while the second RAT is not transmitting; determining when communications of a second RAT may potentially interfere with at least one future connection setup of the first RAT based at least in part on a result of the comparing; and altering potentially interfering communications of the first RAT or second RAT to avoid interference with the at least one future connection setup of the first RAT.
