System and method for controlling communication in a multi-network environment

A system in a first wireless communication device for controlling communication among a plurality of wireless communication devices which communicate in one or more networks, the system comprising:

• a memory device for storing a plurality of communication protocols;
• and
• a control processor for selecting one of the plurality of communication protocols, wherein the control processor transmits a message to a second wireless communication device to reduce the probability of collision among the plurality of communication protocols.

A system for reducing interference, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits for transmitting a message from a first communication device using a first communication protocol, the message being formatted to inform a second communication device to refrain from communicating with the first communication device using the first communication protocol during a specified time period to avoid colliding with another communications signal of a second communication protocol.
