Coordinating operations of multiple communication chips via local hub device

A method of coordinating operations of communication chips in an electronic device, comprising:

• receiving, by a coexistence hub device, an operation policy representing problematic scenarios of operating combinations in the communication chips and rules for resolving the scenarios from a central processor;
• deploying the received operation policy in the coexistence hub device;
• receiving, by the coexistence hub device, a first coexistence message from at least one communication chip via a multi-drop bus;
• determining, by the coexistence hub device, whether one or more of the problematic scenarios has occurred by at least processing the received coexistence message;
• generating, by the coexistence hub device, a second coexistence message representing a command to update an operation of at least one of the communication chips by applying the operation policy, responsive to determining that the one or more of the problematic scenarios has occurred;
• and
• sending, by the coexistence hub device, the second coexistence message to the communication chips via the multi-drop bus.

An electronic device comprising:

• a central processor;
• a plurality of communication chips;
• a multi-drop bus that is connected to the communication chips;
• and
• a coexistence hub device, comprising:
• a first interface circuit configured to communicate over the multi-drop bus;
• a second interface circuit configured to communicate with the central processor i over a point-to-point connection;
• and
• a processor circuit configured to:
• receive an operation policy representing problematic scenarios of operating combinations in the communication chips and rules for resolving the scenarios from the central processor via the point-to-point connection,
• deploy the received operation policy,
• receive a first coexistence message from at least one communication chip via the first interface and the multi-drop bus,
• determine whether one or more of the problematic scenarios has occurred by at least processing the received coexistence message, and
• generating a second coexistence message representing a command to update an operation of at least one of the communication chips by applying the operation policy, responsive to determining that the one or more of the problematic scenarios has occurred.
