Abstract
Scheduling communications using a plurality of wireless interfaces is provided. Signals received from an antenna are monitored to detect a level of congestion over a message protocol. Responsive to the level of congestion exceeding a first threshold, a transmission mode is transitioned to a first mode which allows use of first and second subchannels for sending messages. Responsive to the level of congestion being below a second threshold, the second threshold being indicative of a lower level of congestion caused by message protocol traffic over the plurality of subchannels than the first threshold, the transmission mode is transitioned to a second mode which allows use of the first subchannels but not the second subchannels for sending the messages. One or more subchannels over which to send a first message of the messages are chosen in accordance with the transmission mode. The first message is sent using the antenna.
