US 2022/0191887 A1 · COEXISTENCE MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

A method includes determining traffic priority information of a first wireless network that includes a first radio configured to communicate according to a first communication protocol on multiple overlapping channels. The method includes determining an operating mode of a second radio as a power save operating mode based on the traffic priority information of the first wireless network. The second radio is included in a second wireless network and is configured to communicate according to a second communication protocol on the overlapping channels. The power save operating mode is configured to avoid interference on the overlapping channels with traffic in the first wireless network. The method includes operating the second radio in the determined power save operating mode.
