COMMUNICATIONS COEXISTENCE SIGNALING
First Claim
1. A method for communications coexistence signaling, comprising:
- establishing, by at least one communications circuit, first communications with an access point using a first communications specification;
establishing, by the at least one communications circuit, second communications with a base station using a second communications specification;
determining a first protocol timing of the first communications specification and a second protocol timing of the second communications specification;
generating, by the at least one communications circuit, a priority signal based on the second protocol timing; and
managing the first communications with the access point based on the priority signal.

Abstract
A coexistence signaling scheme for radio communications is described. In one embodiment, a method for coexistence signaling includes establishing first communications and second communications with separate access points or base stations. The method further includes determining protocol timings of the first and second communications. Based on various communications parameters, protocol timings, and identified interference conditions, the method includes generating one or more priority signals to manage the first and second communications. According to certain aspects, overlapping channel conditions can be avoided while maintaining acceptable communications data throughput.
