Control of coexisting wireless networks based on predicted transmission arrival time

Abstract

A system and method for optimizing medium utilization with coexisting wireless networks is described herein. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, and logic configured to determine which of the first and second wireless transceivers is enabled at a given time. The first wireless transceiver is configured for operation with a first wireless network. The second wireless transceiver is configured for operation with a second wireless network coexisting with the first wireless network. The logic is further configured to predict an arrival time of a transmission from a different device and to enable the second wireless transceiver based on the predicted arrival time.
