Cooperative transceiving between wireless interface devices of a host device

A circuit comprises:

• a first wireless interface circuit that transceives packetized data with a first external device in accordance with a first wireless communication protocol;
• a second wireless interface circuit that transceives packetized data with a second external device in accordance with a second wireless communication protocol and wherein operation of the second wireless interface circuit interferes with operation of the first wireless interface circuit;
• and
• a processing module, coupled to the first wireless interface circuit and the second wireless interface circuit, that selectively preempts communication by the second external device to the second wireless interface circuit using a plurality of preemption modes including a first preemption mode and a second preemption mode.
