Coexistence priority selection

A device comprising:

• at least one circuit configured to:
• receive a task from a co-located first device, wherein the task is assigned a high priority by the first device and the task is performed without a point-to-point link;
• determine whether the point-to-point link with a second device is currently present;
• reassign the assigned high priority to a low priority if the point-to-point link is determined to be present;
• communicate a low priority signal corresponding to the reassigned low priority with regard to the task via a coexistence method with a co-located third device if the point-to-point link is determined to be present;
• and
• communicate a high priority signal corresponding to the assigned high priority with regard to the task via the coexistence method with the co-located third device if the point-to-point link is determined to be not present.

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a traffic arbitration device, a task from a first device co-located with the traffic arbitration device, wherein the task is assigned a high priority by the first device and the task is exclusive of transmitting a first type of packets;
• determining, by the traffic arbitration device, a link with a second device for transmitting the first type of packets is currently present;
• reassigning, by the traffic arbitration device, the assigned high priority of the task to a low priority when the link is determined to be present;
• communicating, by the traffic arbitration device, a first signal corresponding to the reassigned low priority with regard to the task via a coexistence method with a co-located third device when the link is determined to be present;
• and
• communicating, by the traffic arbitration device, a second signal corresponding to the assigned high priority with regard to the task via the coexistence method with the co-located third device when the link is determined to be not present.

A computer program product comprising instructions stored in a tangible computer-readable storage medium, the instructions comprising:

• instructions to receive, by a traffic arbitration device, a task from a first device co-located with the traffic arbitration device, wherein the task is assigned a high priority by the first device and the task is associated with transmitting a first type of packets;
• determining, by the traffic arbitration device, whether a link with a second device for transmitting a second type of packets is currently present, wherein the second type of packets are associated with a higher priority than the first type of packets;
• reassigning, by the traffic arbitration device, the assigned high priority of the task to a low priority if the link is determined to be present;
• communicating, by the traffic arbitration device, a first signal corresponding to the reassigned low priority with regard to the task via a coexistence method with a co-located third device if the link is determined to be present;
• and
• communicating, by the traffic arbitration device, a second signal corresponding to the assigned high priority with regard to the task via the coexistence method with the co-located device if the link is determined to be not present.
