1. A system, comprising:
- transceiver logic that receives signals on each of an array of frequencies, the transceiver logic adapted to communicate using a first communication protocol; and
processing logic coupled to the transceiver logic, the processing logic identifies from among the array of frequencies a subset of shared frequencies that carry data transmitted using a second communication protocol, the processing logic adjusts frequency selection parameters in accordance with said identification;
wherein the processing logic uses the adjusted frequency selection parameters to select a target frequency from the array of frequencies to carry data.

Abstract
A system comprises transceiver logic that receives signals on each of an array of frequencies. The transceiver logic is adapted to communicate using a first communication protocol. Processing logic couples to the transceiver logic. The processing logic identifies from among the array of frequencies a subset of shared frequencies that carry data transmitted using a second communication protocol. The processing logic adjusts frequency selection parameters in accordance with the identification. The processing logic uses the adjusted frequency selection parameters to select a target frequency from the array of frequencies to carry data.

8. A computer-readable medium encoded with software which, when executed, causes a processor to:
-
sort a set of frequencies, a first subset of the frequencies corresponds to signals that have been transmitted using a first wireless communication protocol, a second subset of the frequencies corresponds to signals that have been transmitted using a second wireless communication protocol; for at least one of the first subset of frequencies, determine a difference between a first signal strength value and an average signal strength value, said average signal strength value indicative of the average signal strength for signals received on said at least one of the first subset of frequencies; re-sort said set of frequencies in accordance with said difference; and transmit or receive data on a target frequency selected from the re-sorted set of frequencies. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
determining an average signal strength of signals received on a shared frequency carrier, said shared frequency carrier usable by different communication protocols; determining a difference between said average signal strength and a signal strength of another signal received on said shared frequency carrier to produce a modified signal strength; sorting a plurality of frequency carriers, including said shared frequency carrier, based on said modified signal strength; and transmitting or receiving data on a target frequency carrier selected using the sorted frequency carriers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
