WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a first wireless communication section for performing first wireless communication using a first frequency band; and
a second wireless communication section for performing second wireless communication using a second frequency band,wherein the second wireless communication section transmits/receives data by the second wireless communication and outputs a communication status signal that represents a signal pattern corresponding to a communication status of the second wireless communication, andwherein the first wireless communication section analyzes the pattern of the communication status signal and then determine whether or not the second wireless communication is synchronous, and if the second wireless communication is synchronous as a determination result, the first wireless communication section transmits/receives data in a non-communication period where communication in the synchronous communication is not performed, in synchronization with timing of the synchronous communication.

Abstract
In a wireless communication device for performing plural wireless communications with different standards using the same frequency band, degradation of communication quality and communication speed due to communication interference is prevented, while drop in throughput and occurrence of frame loss are prevented. A first wireless communication section first performs wireless communication using a first frequency band and a second wireless communication section performs second wireless communication using a second frequency band with which at least a part of the first frequency band overlaps. The first wireless communication section analyzes a communication status signal which represents a signal pattern corresponding to communication status of the second wireless communication and then determines whether it is synchronous communication, and if it is, the first wireless communication section transmits/receives data in a non-communication period when communication in the synchronous communication is not performed, in synchronization with timing of the synchronous communication.
