Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses and methods that can improve Bluetooth (BT) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) coexistence at a BT/WLAN co-located wireless communication device. Various coexistence schemes are provided such as dynamic WLAN fragmentation based on high priority BT traffic by utilizing various techniques and signaling schemes. In some aspects of the disclosure, narrow-band active interference cancellation may be combined with dynamic WLAN fragmentation to further improve BT/WLAN coexistence performance.
Claims7
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a first wireless transceiver coupled to the at least one processor, corresponding to a first communication protocol;
- a second wireless transceiver coupled to the at least one processor, corresponding to a second communication protocol;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor comprises:
- a first component configured to utilize the first wireless transceiver to transmit first data;
- a second component configured to utilize the second wireless transceiver to communicate a medium access timing of the first data to an access point;
- a third component configured to set the second wireless transceiver to a sleep mode;
- and
- a fourth component configured to wake up the second wireless transceiver to receive second data from the access point when the first wireless transceiver is not transmitting data based on the medium access timing, wherein the received second data was queued at the access point when the second wireless transceiver was in the sleep mode.
