Latest development of near-field communication (NFC) on handsets application

Integrating multiple standards into a single SoC presents numerous difficulties. Typical connectivity SoCs feature WLAN, BT, FM, GPS, NFC in various combinations. Users expect their simultaneous operation to be seamless. In most applications connectivity must coexist with WAN. This paper focuses on NFC and FM concurrency and discusses strategies to mitigate inter-system interference.
