Abstract
A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modems integrated within the same wireless communication device. In at least one embodiment of the present invention, a control strategy may be employed to manage the operation of a plurality of radio modems and/or wireless mediums. A signal normally used to reactivate or “wake-up” system components in an inactive or sleep mode may also be employed to convey timing and/or control information to the system components of the wireless communication device.
