Multiple configuration communication apparatus
First Claim
1. Multiple-configuration communication apparatus comprising:
- a communication device comprising a single transceiver configured for simultaneously maintaining at least a first channel within a first wireless network and a second channel within a second different wireless network;
a storage device coupled to the communication device for storing a plurality of communication configurations; and
a configuration controller coupled to the communication device, the communication controller configured for;
while simultaneously maintaining the first and second channels, also;
determining a first time frame and during the first time frame, selecting a first communication configuration of the plurality of communication configurations and controlling the communication device to configure itself to the first communication configuration to at least one of transmit and receive information over the first channel; and
determining a second time frame that is different from the first time frame and during the second time frame, selecting a second communication configuration of the plurality of communication configurations, and controlling the communication device to configure itself to the second communication configuration to at least one of transmit and receive information over the second channel.
