1. A system, comprising:
- an access point; and
a station in communication with the access point, the station having at least two network technology subsystems subject to coexistence interference,wherein the station selectively implements bounded Power-Save-Polling (BPS) logic to handle communications between the station and the access point,wherein the BPS logic operates to confine PS-Poll transmissions to one of two separate windows during a medium grant duration of the station.

Abstract
In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system comprises an access point and a station in communication with the access point. The station has at least two network technology subsystems subject to coexistence interference. The station selectively implements bounded Power Save (PS)-Polling (BPS) logic to handle communications between the station and the access point. The BPS logic operates to confine PS-Poll transmissions starts to one of two separate windows during a medium grant duration of the station.

10. A communication device, comprising:
-
a transceiver with a first wireless technology subsystem and a second wireless technology subsystem, the first and second wireless technology subsystems being subject to coexistence interference, wherein, to avoid an avalanche effect and improve channel utilization, the transceiver comprises logic that selectively bounds Power-Save (PS)-Poll transmission starts to one of two separate windows of a medium grant duration of the communication device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for a communication device, comprising:
-
limiting Power-Save (PS)-Poll transmissions to one of two separate windows in a medium grant duration of the communication device; if a PS-Poll is not transmitted during a first window of said two separate windows, then transmitting a PS-Poll during a second window of said two separate windows. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
