Wireless communications over different networks using overlapping signal channels is facilitated. According to an example embodiment, information characterizing the usage of an overlapping channel by a first network is used to schedule communications on the overlapping channel by the second network. Another example embodiment is directed to the use of existing coexistence control lines between collocated communications circuits in a wireless device to communicate data indicative of the use of the overlapping channel. In some applications, these communications approaches are used with a network device operating on different networks, such as with a handheld device that communicates on both a Bluetooth network and wireless local area network (WLAN).
