Radio apparatus
First Claim
1. A radio apparatus comprising:
- a first transceiver means arranged to receive and transmit packets according to a first protocol;
a second transceiver means arranged to receive or transmit packets according to a second, different protocol, the second transceiver means being located such that interference is possible between packets of the first and second protocols;
a third transceiver means arranged to receive packets;
analyzing means for determining a probability that a packet to be transmitted by the first transceiver means does not contain only redundant information, and for determining a probability that a packet to be received by the first transmitter means does not contain only redundant information; and
decision means for making a respective decision based on a respective determined probability as to whether or not a packet to be transmitted should be transmitted and whether or not a packet to be received should be received,wherein the first transceiver means is arranged to transmit a packet that should be transmitted according to a respective decision, and to receive a packet that should be received according to a respective decision,and the analyzing means comprises an information detection means, arranged to detect the presence of non-redundant information in packets received at the third transceiver means,and wherein the analyzing means is arranged to determine the said probability in dependence on whether the presence of non-redundant information is detected in said packets received at the third transceiver means or not.

Abstract
A radio apparatus comprising: a first transceiver means arranged to receive and transmit packets according to a first protocol; a second transceiver means arranged to receive or transmit packets according to a second, different protocol, the second transceiver means being located such that interference is possible between packets of the first and second protocols; analyzing means for determining a probability that a packet to be transmitted or received by the first transceiver means does not contain only redundant information; and decision means for making a decision based on the determined probability as to whether or not the packet should be respectively transmitted or received. The first transceiver means is arranged to respectively transmit or receive the packet or not according to the decision.

26. A method of reducing interference between a first and a second transceiver located in a radio apparatus, the first transceiver being operable to receive and transmit packets according to a first protocol and the second transceiver being operable to receive or transmit packets according to a second, different protocol, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining a probability that a packet to be transmitted by the first radio apparatus does not contain only redundant information; determining a probability that a packet to be received by the first radio apparatus does not contain only redundant information; making a respective decision based on a respective determined probability as to whether or not a packet to be transmitted should be transmitted and whether or not a packet to be received should be received; and transmitting a packet that should be transmitted according to a respective decision, and receiving a packet that should be received according to a respective decision, wherein the probability is determined in dependence on whether the presence of non-redundant information is detected in packets received at a third transceiver means or not.
