SELECTING A COMMUNICATION MEDIUM FOR DATA TRANSMISSION
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data from a first device to a second device within a wired communication system, the method being performed by the first device and comprising:
- determining that a data stream is to be transmitted to the second device;
selecting one of a plurality of communication mediums for transmitting the data stream to the second device;
transmitting the data stream to the second device using the selected communication medium;
determining that the transmission of the data stream to the second device using the selected communication medium is being interfered with by transmission of other data from the first device to a third device on another of the plurality of communication mediums; and
in response to determining that the transmission of the data stream to the second device on the selected communication medium is being interfered with by the transmission of the other data to the third device using the other communication medium, turning off the transmission of the other data to the third device on the other communication medium.

Abstract
A method for transmitting data from within a wired communication system is disclosed. A first network-enabled device can select one of a plurality of communication mediums for transmitting the data stream to the second device and transmit the data stream to the second device using the selected communication medium. The first device determines that the transmission of the data stream using the selected communication medium is being interfered with by transmission of other data from the first device to a third device on another of the plurality of communication mediums. In response to determining that the transmission of the data stream to the second device on the selected communication medium is being interfered with by the transmission of the other data to the third device using the other communication medium, the first device turns off the transmission of the other data to the third device on the other communication medium.

9. A communication device, comprising:
-
a network interface to transmit a data stream to a second device using a selected one of a plurality of communication mediums; and a processor coupled to the network interface, the processor to; determine that the data stream is to be transmitted to the second device; select the one of the plurality of communication mediums to be used by the network interface to transmit the data stream to the second device; determine that the transmission of the data stream to the second device using the selected communication medium is being interfered with by transmission of other data from the communication device to a third device on another of the plurality of communication mediums; and in response to determining that the transmission of the data stream to the second device on the selected communication medium is being interfered with by the transmission of the other data to the third device using the other communication medium, turn off the transmission of the other data to the third device on the other communication medium. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by a communication device, cause the communication device to perform operations comprising:
-
determine that a data stream is to be transmitted to a second device; select one of a plurality of communication mediums for transmitting the data stream to the second device; transmit the data stream to the second device using the selected communication medium; determine whether the transmission of the data stream to the second device using the selected communication medium is being interfered with by transmission of other data from the communication device to a third device on another of the plurality of communication mediums; and turn off the transmission of the other data to the third device on the other communication medium if transmission of the data stream to the second device on the selected communication medium is being interfered with by the transmission of the other data to the third device using the other communication medium. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
