A wireless communication device () includes a radio frequency transceiver () adapted for burst transmission responsive to an enable signal in accordance with at least one communication protocol and an infrared transceiver () adapted for asynchronous data communication. The infrared transceiver () is responsive to the enable signal to suspend data communication. A controller () is coupled to each of the radio frequency transceiver () and the infrared transceiver (), and the controller () is operable to generate the enable signal in accordance with the at least one communication protocol.

Method and apparatus for communicating in the presence of radio frequency energy

A wireless communication device ( ) includes a radio frequency transceiver ( ) adapted for burst transmission responsive to a control signal in accordance with at least one communication protocol and an infrared transceiver ( ) adapted for asynchronous data communication in coordination. The infrared transceiver ( ) is responsive to the control signal to suspend an ongoing data communication for the duration of the burst transmission and to resume the data communication following the burst transmission. A controller ( ) is coupled to each of the radio frequency communication module ( ) and the infrared communication module ( ), and the controller ( ) is operable to generate the control signal in accordance with the at least one communication protocol.
