1. A wireless receiver, comprising:
- an interference detector configured to determine that time multiplexing of a coexisting wireless network interferes with reception of a packet by the wireless receiver;
a packet validator configured to identify a type of the packet and useable data values of the packet when a partial packet is received due to the time multiplexing;
wherein the packet validator is configured to identify the type and useable data values of the partial packet based on a packet signature stored in the wireless receiver.

Abstract
A system and method for using partially received packets in coexisting networks. In one embodiment, a wireless receiver includes an interference detector and a packet validator. The interference detector is configured to determine that time multiplexing of a coexisting wireless network interferes with reception of a packet by the wireless receiver. The packet validator is configured to identify a type of the packet and useable data values of the packet when a partial packet is received due to the time multiplexing. The packet validator is configured to identify the type and useable data values of the packet based on a packet signature stored in the wireless receiver.

9. A method, comprising:
-
identifying, by a wireless device, a packet, received via a wireless network, whose reception is interfered with by time multiplexing of a coexisting wireless network, the interference resulting in reception of a partial packet; comparing, by the wireless device, the partial packet to a stored packet signature; identifying, by the wireless device, based on the comparing, a packet type and useable data values of the partial packet. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A wireless transmitter, comprising:
-
a monitoring system configured to determine whether a transmission by the transmitter on a wireless network will be interfered with by time multiplexing of a coexisting wireless network; a performance analyzer configured to determine whether transmission of partial packets on the wireless network is beneficial to performance of the wireless network; and a transmission controller configured to transmit a packet that the monitoring system determines will be interfered with based on the performance analyzer determining that transmissions of partial packets are beneficial to performance of the wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A system, comprising:
-
a first wireless device configured to communicate via a first wireless network; and a second wireless device configured to communicate with the first wireless device via the first wireless network, and configured to communicate with a third wireless device via a second wireless network;
the second wireless device, comprising;a partial packet recognition system configured to; validate a partial packet received from the first wireless device, wherein reception of the a packet comprising the partial packet is inhibited by time multiplexing of the first and second wireless networks; and identify fields of the partial packet containing useable information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a wireless device, prior to initiation of transmission, whether transmission of a packet will be interrupted by time multiplexing of coexisting wireless networks; determining, by the wireless device, whether reception of a partial packet resulting from transmission of the packet being interrupted by time multiplexing is beneficial to performance of a given wireless network on which the partial packet is transmitted; and transmitting the partial packet based on the determining finding that the partial packet is beneficial to performance of the given wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
