Abstract

Techniques for supporting multiple potentially overlapping wireless protocols with a single electronic system are disclosed. In the description that follows, the overlapping protocols are Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 for wireless networking; however, other overlapping protocols can be supported in a similar manner. A transaction control policy and a collision map are provided to determine which protocol to enable/disable when a conflict arises. Based on the transaction control policy and the collision map, one or more transceivers that operate according to the wireless protocols can be selectively enabled/disabled to avoid actual conflicts.
