Apparatus and method for the co-ordination of bluetooth and wireless local area network (wlan) and wimax - communications

摘要

The present invention provides a method for operating a device which is capable of bluetooth and wireless local area network (wlan) / wimax - communications to provide. In one embodiment, the device comprises a bluetooth - module and a wlan / wimax - unit, which is of a packet traffic referee (pta) - module, and a wlan / wimax - module. The bluetooth - module sends a request for a bluetooth - signal - transceiving, which in a bluetooth - time slot is to be carried out, to a wlan / wimax - unit, wherein the request a length information over the length of a transceiving - time period for bluetooth - signals includes. The bluetooth - module then carries out a bluetooth - signal - transceiving during the transceiving - time period of the bluetooth - time slots, after the wlan / wimax - unit the request has allowed. The wlan / wimax - unit then carries out a wlan / wimax - signal - transceiving, while the remaining time period of the bluetooth - time slots in response to the length information.
