1. A second radio module for supporting coexistence between a first radio module and the second radio module, comprising:

  • a transceiver configured to transmit and receive at least one signal;

    a controller configured to;

    select a channel allocated to the first radio module for an operation of the second radio module based on a minimum number of first radio devices connected to the first radio module;

    control to transmit a request for an allocation of the selected channel to the first radio module;

    control to receive a response including the allocation of the selected channel from the first radio module; and

    release the allocated channel after completing the operation of the second radio module in the allocated channel,wherein, in a contention period (CP) of a superframe provided by the first radio module the request includes a first time duration during which the second radio module uses the selected channel, and the response includes a second time duration for allocating the selected channel to the second radio module,wherein, in a contention free period (CFP) of a superframe provided by the first radio module, the request includes traffic characteristic of a session associated with the second radio module, the controller further configured to control to receive information associated with a transmit opportunity allocated to the second radio module, and the information associated with a transmit opportunity is based on the traffic characteristic.
