Claims32
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a Bluetooth transceiver;
- a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver including a protocol adaptation layer (PAL) to support a Bluetooth alternate media access control/physical layer (AMP) link;
- a Bluetooth host to communicate with the WLAN transceiver through the PAL;
- and
- a reporter to send information regarding a WLAN operational status of the WLAN transceiver to the Bluetooth host, wherein the Bluetooth host to operate an AMP link on the basis of the operational status information.
A method for wireless communications in a device having Bluetooth and wireless local area network (WLAN) capabilities, comprising:
- determining information regarding an operational status of a WLAN transceiver of the device;
- reporting the information to a Bluetooth host of the device through a protocol adaptation layer (PAL) of the WLAN transceiver;
- and
- operating a Bluetooth alternate media access control/physical layer (AMP) link based on the information.
A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium for operating a wireless communications device having Bluetooth and wireless local area network (WLAN) capabilities, the processor-readable storage medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:
- code for determining information regarding an operational status of a WLAN transceiver of the device;
- code for reporting the information to a Bluetooth host of the device through a protocol adaptation layer (PAL) of the WLAN transceiver;
- and
- code for operating a Bluetooth alternate media access control/physical layer (AMP) link based on the information.
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a Bluetooth transceiver;
- a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver including a protocol adaptation layer (PAL) to support a Bluetooth alternate media access control/physical layer (AMP) link;
- means for operating an AMP link in communication with the WLAN transceiver through the PAL;
- and
- means for reporting information regarding a WLAN operational status of the WLAN transceiver to the means for operating the AMP link,
- wherein the means for operating the AMP link to operate the AMP link on the basis of the operational status information.
