20140170990 | ANTENNA TRANSFER SWITCHING FOR SIMULTANEOUS VOICE AND DATA - A method and system selects an antenna for signal propagation within a wireless communication device having multiple antennas. A transfer switch controller identifies an operating mode being initiated on the wireless communication device. The transfer switch controller configures a dynamic transfer switch based on the operating mode initiated to support propagation of each available type of communication signal. In addition, the transfer switch controller utilizes a pre-established priority of each available type of communication signal to select the appropriate antenna. The transfer switch controller communicatively connects, utilizing the configured dynamic transfer switch, each of at least one transceiver associated with the operating mode initiated to a specific antenna, where each transceiver supports propagation of a specific type of communication signal. As a result, the transfer switch controller enables each of the at least one communication signal to be propagated via a specific antenna selected using the configured dynamic transfer switch. | 06-19-2014 |
