Abstract
The present invention discloses a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Bluetooth (BT) device including a WLAN circuit and a BT circuit. The WLAN circuit starts a WLAN slot according to a beacon of a beacon signal from an access point and executes WLAN communication. The WLAN slot ends after a measured reception time point of the beacon so as to prevent missing the beacon. The BT circuit starts a BT slot after the end of the WLAN slot and executes BT communication. If the BT slot is shorter than the period of the beacon signal minus the WLAN slot, the WLAN circuit earns additional time to start an extended WLAN slot after the end of the BT slot for carrying on the WLAN communication. The extended WLAN slot is not longer than the period of the beacon signal minus the sum of the WLAN and BT slots.
