SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAINTAINING A CONNECTION WITH A FIRST NETWORK WHILE PROCESSING COMMUNICATIONS WITH A SECOND NETWORK BY A COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

The invention provides a method and device that communicate with a 802.11-class network and processes communications with a Bluetooth network. A passive beacon scan is conducted in a channel of a 802.11-class network through a series of spaced segments, such that the series of spaced segments represent a timeframe of a notional beacon period that would span a continuous period for the 802.11-class network; and data is transmitted from the communication device to the Bluetooth network between two of consecutive segments of the series of spaced segments.
