Adaptive guard interval for wireless coexistence

A method comprising:

• (a) determining a Response Time Measurement Value (RTMV) indicative of a response time of a communication in a second wireless network;
• and
• (b) determining when to update a Guard Interval (GI) based at least in part on the RTMV, wherein the GI is an amount of time at an end of a second part of a coexistence interval, wherein the coexistence interval includes a first part reserved for communication in a first wireless network, and wherein the second part of the coexistence interval is not used for communication in the first wireless network.

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) station (STA) that changes a Guard Interval (GI) adjustment rate based at least in part on a value, wherein the GI is an amount of time at an end of a second part of a coexistence interval, wherein the coexistence interval includes a first part reserved for communication in a first wireless network, and wherein the second part of the coexistence interval is usable for communication in a second wireless network and is not used for communication in the first wireless network.

A device comprising:

• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) transceiver circuitry that is controllable to communicate during a second part of a Bluetooth transmission interval, wherein a Bluetooth communication occurs during in a first part of the Bluetooth transmission interval;
