Abstract
Data transfer in a communications network includes a first communication device including a transceiver; and an interface operatively connected to the first communication device, wherein the interface provides multiple operative connections for data transfer, wherein the multiple operative connections include a WLAN connection adapted for communication with an access point that generates data exchange signals; and a P2P connection adapted for communication with a second communication device, wherein the transceiver is shared between the multiple operative connections. The first and second communication devices may include a WiFi device. The first communication device may further include a pair of data registers and state machines; a MAC layer controller that receives input from the pair of data registers and state machines; and a PHY layer controller that receives input from the pair of data registers and state machines and the MAC layer controller, and sends instructions to the transceiver.
