Apparatus to facilitate co-existence of bluetooth and wireless local area networks

摘要

A method for transmitting one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets and one or more first Bluetooth (BT) packets. The method includes: prior to transmission of the one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets, predicting a first time at which the transmission of the one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets is going to end, and predicting a second time at which reception of one or more second Bluetooth (BT) packets is going to start; and simultaneously transmitting the one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets and the one or more first Bluetooth (BT) packets in response to the first time being predicted to occur prior to the second time.

主权项

1. An apparatus for receiving wireless local area network packets and Bluetooth packets, wherein the apparatus comprises:
means for predicting, prior to receiving a wireless local area network packet, (i) a first time at which reception of the wireless local area network packet is going to end, and (ii) a second time at which a transmission of a first Bluetooth packet is going to start; and means for simultaneously receiving both the wireless local area network packet and a second Bluetooth packet in response to the first time being predicted to occur prior to the second time, wherein the first Bluetooth packet is to be transmitted subsequent to the second Bluetooth packet being received.
