LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS BASED ON INTRA-DEVICE OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18220721 titled 'LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS BASED ON INTRA-DEVICE OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about systems and methods for operating a control signal to communicate signals using a first antenna and a first frequency band. This is done in response to determining that intra-device operations are occurring or are expected to occur, that a first amount of energy received by the first antenna is less than a threshold amount of energy, and that the first antenna is unaffected by the intra-device operations. The control signal may also delay communication of the signals in response to determining that intra-device operations are occurring, and that the first amount of energy is greater than or equal to the threshold amount of energy.

  • The patent application is about operating a control signal to communicate signals using a first antenna and a first frequency band.
  • The control signal is activated when intra-device operations are occurring or expected to occur.
  • The control signal is activated when the first antenna receives less than a threshold amount of energy.
  • The first antenna is unaffected by the intra-device operations.
  • The patent application also includes delaying communication of the signals when intra-device operations are occurring and the first amount of energy received is greater than or equal to the threshold amount of energy.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for operating a control signal to communicate signals using a first antenna and a first frequency band in response to determining that intra-device operations are occurring or are expected to occur, that a first amount of energy received by the first antenna is less than a threshold amount of energy, and that the first antenna is unaffected by the intra-device operations. The control signal may also delay communication of the signals in response to determining that intra-device operations are occurring, and that first amount of energy is greater than or equal to the threshold amount of energy.
