1. A method for sending data in an environment with a plurality of protocols, comprising:
- receiving, at a communications device, an indication to send first data to an access point in a first communications protocol;
determining that second data is being communicated in a second communications protocol;
determining a period of silence from data communication in the second communications protocol; and
sending the first data in the first communications protocol during the period of silence.

Abstract
Included are embodiments for sending data in an environment with a plurality of protocols. At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving, at a communications device, an indication to send first data to an access point in a first communications protocol and determining that second data is being communicated in a second communications protocol. Some embodiments include determining a period of silence from data communication in the second communications protocol and sending the first data in the first communications protocol during the period of silence.
