Abstract

A wireless communication system includes a first wireless device, a second wireless device, a determining device and an executing unit. The first wireless device is arranged for receiving a first signal, and the second wireless device is arranged for transmitting a second signal, where the first wireless device and the second wireless device conform to different communication standards, respectively. The determining device may determine a signal quality of the first signal received by the first wireless device, and accordingly generates a determining result. The executing unit refers to the determining result to select a target coexistence mechanism, which is shared by the first and second wireless devices, from a plurality of candidate coexistence mechanisms.
