Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a wireless transceiver to communicate radio frequency (RF) signals of a plurality of wireless protocols; a signal identifier circuit coupled to the wireless transceiver; and a coexistence management controller coupled to the signal identifier circuit. The signal identifier circuit may identify a presence of signaling of at least one wireless protocol in the incoming RF signals, using at least one first artificial intelligence (AI) model. The coexistence management controller may predict, based at least in part on the presence of signaling, interference in the portion of the radio spectrum using at least one second AI model.
