A communication device comprising: a receiver operable to receive radio transmissions according to a first communication protocol; a transmitter operable to transmit radio transmissions according to a second communication protocol; and an arbiter connected to the receiver and transmitter; wherein the arbiter is configured to: receive from the transmitter an indication of a first transmit operation intended for performance during a first time period and one or more intended transmit characteristics of the first transmit operation, including a representation of the intended transmit power; determine whether the receiver intends to perform a communication operation during the first time period; determine in dependence on the transmit characteristics and the receive quality, a set of one or more threshold transmit characteristics for the first transmit operation; and cause the transmitter to proceed with the first transmit operation only if its transmit characteristics are constrained in accordance with the threshold transmit characteristics.
