Method for using bluetooth module to process non-bluetooth signals

A computer-implemented method for managing communications for a plurality of protocols, the method comprising, by a computer system:

• receiving a set of policies associated with the plurality of protocols, each of the policies including information about prioritizing communications for a protocol from among the plurality of protocols;
• receiving a plurality of transmissions via at least two of the plurality of protocols;
• verifying the information about prioritizing communications for each of the received transmissions based at least in part on the protocol used for the transmission;
• and
• scheduling data transmission and reception based at least in part on the information included in the set of policies.

A device for processing data packets transmitted using a non-Bluetooth protocol comprising:

• a Bluetooth transceiver module configured to receive data transmitted using a non-Bluetooth protocol;
• a sampling module configured to sample the received data using a Bluetooth data rate to obtain sampled data;
• a packet reconstruction module configured to reconstruct the data packet based at least in part on the sampled data;
• and
• an analysis module configured to determine presence or absence of a valid cyclic redundancy check (CRC) attribute and a valid access code in the reconstructed packet.

A device for processing data packets comprising:

• means for receiving a data packet transmitted using a non-Bluetooth data rate;
• means for sampling the data packet using a Bluetooth data rate to obtain sampled data;
• means for reconstructing the data packet based at least in part on the sampled data;
• and
• means for determining presence or absence of a valid cyclic redundancy check (CRC) attribute and a valid access code in the reconstructed data packet.

A device for managing communications for a plurality of protocols, the device comprising:

• a policy receiving module configured to receive a first policy associated with a first protocol and a second policy associated with a second protocol, wherein the first policy and the second policy includes communication priority information for the first protocol and the second protocol;
• analysis logic configured to determine timing and frequency information associated with the first protocol and the second protocol based at least in part on the first policy and the second policy;
• and
• scheduling logic configured to schedule communication for the first protocol and the second protocol based at least in part on the timing and frequency information associated with the first protocol and the second protocol.

A device for managing communications for a plurality of protocols, the device comprising:

• a transceiver module configured to communicate using at least a first protocol and a second protocol;
• an analysis module configured to determine time intervals of data non-transmission for the first protocol and the second protocol;
• and
• a scheduling module configured to schedule data transmission for the first protocol and the second protocol based at least in part on the time intervals of data non-transmission for the first protocol and the second protocol,
• wherein the scheduling module is further configured to schedule data transmission by interleaving data from the first protocol and the second protocol based at least in part on the time intervals of data non-transmission for the first protocol and the second protocol.
