Claim:
A dual transmit mobile communication device comprising: a plurality of modems; a modem controller configured to programmatically control the modems; and a data session manager configured to manage data sessions of the mobile communication device, wherein the data session manager programmatically interacts with the modem controller to ensure that only one of the modems is transmitting at any one time; wherein the modem controller is configured to selectively block an active modem, associated with an active session on a first channel, from transmitting and activate a different modem to support a different session associated with a different channel in response to a request for the different session; wherein the active modem associated with the first channel will be blocked and the different modem activated if the different session has a greater priority status than a priority status associated with the active session, and the request will be denied and the active modem will remain active if the different session associated with the request has a lower priority status than the priority status associated with the active session.
