Systems and methods for wireless coexistence

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating operation of wireless local area network (WLAN) and ANT systems. A coexistence manager may determine an operating mode of the ANT transceiver and selectively enable and disable the ANT and WLAN transceivers based on the operating mode to reduce the potential for interference.

主权项

1. A wireless communication device comprising:
a first wireless protocol transceiver to use a first wireless protocol; a second wireless protocol transceiver to use a second wireless protocol; and a coexistence manager to selectively award priority for being enabled between the first wireless protocol transceiver and the second wireless protocol transceiver based at least in part on an operating mode of the second wireless protocol transceiver, wherein the second wireless protocol is a low power wireless protocol including a broadcast operating mode comprising a periodic time slot for transmission, a burst operating mode comprising an extended broadcast time slot, and a scan operating mode and wherein relatively greater priority is awarded to the broadcast operating mode relative to the burst operating mode and relatively greater priority is awarded to the broadcast operating mode relative to the scan operating mode.
