1. A data collision rectification device for use in a wireless communication network wherein data transmissions using frequency-overlapping protocols comprising a first protocol and a second protocol operate to exchange information between a plurality of data transfer nodes, the device comprising:

  • a coordination module which determines first and second transmission priorities associated with a first data transmission using the first protocol and a second data transmission using the second protocol, respectively; and

    determines a first current quality of service of the first transmission and a second current quality of service of the second transmission; and

    a synchronization module which moderates the first transmission in response to determining that (1) the first transmission priority is higher than the second transmission priority, (2) the second current quality of service is not within an acceptable quality of service range for transmissions using the second protocol, and (3) the first current quality of service is within an acceptable quality of service range for transmissions using the first protocol.
