This disclosure involves methods and systems for controlling WLAN and Bluetooth communications by allocating bandwidth into times blocs having a first segment with Bluetooth priority and a second segment with WLAN priority. Access to the wireless communication medium is signaled over an interface connecting the WLAN and Bluetooth modules. Downlink traffic is modulated by signaling the WLAN access point to buffer traffic during the first segment. WLAN traffic can also be modulated by allowing reception and blocking transmission WLAN signals during the first segment. Further, while high priority Bluetooth transmission are preferably always allowed, low priority Bluetooth transmission can be restricted during the second period, depending upon the respective states of the WLAN and Bluetooth modules. A coexistence agent can be used to transfer relevant information between the WLAN and Bluetooth modules. |
