Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a first transceiver capable of wireless communication using a first technique, the first technique including the use of control packets; a second transceiver capable of wireless communication using a second technique, the second technique capable of establishing a transmission priority over the first technique; and wherein the first transceiver is capable of refraining from transmitting the control packets at predetermined times to prevent collisions with prioritized transmissions by the second transceiver.
Claims25
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first transceiver capable of wireless communication using a first technique, said first technique including the use of control packets;
- a second transceiver capable of wireless communication using a second technique, said second technique capable of establishing a transmission priority over said first technique;
- and
- wherein said first transceiver is capable of refraining from transmitting said control packets at predetermined times to prevent collisions with prioritized transmissions by said second transceiver.
A method of providing enhanced coexistence in an apparatus capable of wireless communication using a plurality of wireless communication techniques, comprising:
- establishing a transmission priority for a first wireless communication technique;
- refraining from transmitting control packets of a second wireless communication technique at predetermined times to prevent collisions with prioritized transmissions by said first wireless communication technique.
An article comprising a storage medium having stored thereon instructions, that, when executed by a computing platform, results in providing enhanced coexistence in an apparatus capable of wireless communication using a plurality of wireless communication techniques by establishing a transmission priority for a first wireless communication technique;
- and refraining from transmitting control packets of a second wireless communication technique at predetermined times to prevent collisions with prioritized transmissions by said first wireless communication technique.
