Abstract
Handling conflicts between radio access technologies (RATs) in a device configured to operate according to multiple RATs. The device may be operated in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode according to each of a first RAT and a second RAT using a shared radio. It may be determined that a conflicting wakeup time is scheduled according to DRX cycles of the first and second RATs. The radio may be operated according to the first RAT at the conflicting wakeup time. The second RAT may not use the radio at the conflicting wakeup time. A next wakeup time for the second RAT may be determined from multiple possible next wakeup times. The radio may be operated according to the second RAT at the determined next wakeup time.
