Method and apparatus for improving co-existence between bluetooth and 802.11 networks

A machine-readable medium embodying instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• detecting a backup in transmission of data through a first wireless channel;
• shifting priority from transmission of data through a second wireless channel to transmission of data through the first wireless channel;
• determining if the backup eases;
• and
• shifting priority back from transmission of data through the first wireless channel to transmission of data through the second wireless channel.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a control hub coupled to the processor;
• a memory coupled to the control hub;
• an I/O hub coupled to the control hub;
• a first wireless interface coupled to the I/O hub;
• a second wireless interface coupled to the I/O hub;
• and wherein the processor to:
• detect in software a backup in transmission of data through a first wireless channel;
• shift priority in software from transmission of data through a second wireless channel to transmission of data through the first wireless channel;
• determine in software if the backup eases;
• and
• shift priority back in software from transmission of data through the first wireless channel to transmission of data through the second wireless channel.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a first logic block to detect in software a backup in transmission of data through a first wireless channel;
• a second logic block to shift priority in software from transmission of data through a second wireless channel to transmission of data through the first wireless channel;
• and
• a third logic block to determine in software if the backup eases.
