Apparatus and method for coordinating bluetooth and wireless local area network (WLAN) and WiMAX communications

An apparatus capable of wireless communications, comprising:

• a second wireless transceiving module;
• and
• a PTA module, coupled between a first wireless transceiving module and the second wireless transceiving module,
• wherein the PTA module receives a request for a first signal transceiving to be performed in a 625 μs time slot from the first wireless transceiving module, the request comprises length information about length of the transceiving time period for the first signal transceiving, and, after the request is granted by the PTA module, the PTA module or the second wireless transceiving module subtracts the transceiving time period from the 625 μs time slot to obtain a residual time period, the second wireless transceiving module performs a second signal transceiving during said residual time period of the 625 μs time slot in response to the length information.

• a first wireless transceiving module;
• and a PTA module, coupled between the first wireless transceiving module and a second wireless transceiving module, wherein the PTA module receives a request for a first signal transceiving to be performed in a 625 tJs time slot from the first wireless transceiving module, the request comprises length information about length of the transceiving time period for the first signal transceiving, and, after granting the request,
• transmitting the length information to the second wireless transceiving module, the PTA module or the second wireless transceiving module subtracts the transceiving time period from the 625 μs time slot to obtain a residual time period;
• thereby enabling the second wireless transceiving module to perform a second signal transceiving during said residual time period of the 625 tJs time slot in response to the length information.
