Method and system for short range and wireless LAN coexistence

A method for providing wireless communication, the method comprising:

• in a single-chip collocated coexistence system utilizing at least a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module,
• determining a current link status of the second wireless communication module based on a command from a third wireless communication module external to the single-chip collocated coexistence system;
• disabling adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) based on the current link status;
• enabling time division multiplexing (TDM) in response to the disabling of AFH;
• and
• adaptively switching between TDM and AFH based on a change in the current link status of the second wireless communication module.

A single-chip collocated coexistence system for providing wireless communication, the system comprising:

• a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication module configured to communicate via a WLAN communication protocol;
• a Bluetooth communication module configured to communicate via a Bluetooth communication protocol, wherein the Bluetooth communication module is further configured to disable adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) based on a current link status of the Bluetooth communication module determined according to communication with a second Bluetooth communication module;
• a coexistence interface coupled between the WLAN communication module and the Bluetooth communication module, wherein the coexistence interface is configured to enable time division multiplexing (TDM) in response to the disabling of AFH;
• wherein the Bluetooth communication module adaptively switches between TDM and AFH based on a change in the current link status of the Bluetooth communication module.
