Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to techniques and apparatuses for mitigating interference on SuperSpeed (SS) pins of a Universal Serial Bus Type C (USB-C) resulting from wireless communications, such as cellular and/or Wi-Fi communications. Specifically, a USB-C module may determine that a high-speed connection is to be established on the SS pins, and may interrupt the establishment procedure. The USB-C module may then provide an indication or instruction to configure one or more wireless communication modules to mitigate interference with the high-speed connection on the SS pins. For example, the wireless communication modules may be configured to reduce transmit power, cap transmit power, or forego transmission within certain frequency ranges and/or on certain antennas. Once configuration of the wireless communication modules is complete, the USB-C module may resume establishment of the high-speed connection on the SS pins.
