System and methods for arbitrating communications by collocated communication circuitry

Communication circuitry, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio frequency signals;
• a signal processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to process packets;
• and
• arbitration logic coupled to the signal processor, the arbitration logic configured to:
• based on transmit or receive activity by the communication circuitry, perform packet traffic arbitration for wireless communication requests by the communication circuitry and a plurality of other communication circuitries, and
• based on transmit and receive inactivity of the communication circuitry, provide a handover signal to signal another arbitration logic of the plurality of communication circuitries to perform packet traffic arbitration for wireless communication requests by at least two communication circuitries of the plurality of other communication circuitries.
