Abstract
A coexistence system including a first transceiver module, an interface, a second transceiver module, and an arbitration module. The first transceiver module, in a first network device, is configured to generate at least one first request signal. The first transceiver module operates according to a first wireless communication standard. The at least one first request signal requests transmission or reception for the first transceiver module. The interface is configured to generate a first priority signal based on the at least one first request signal. The first priority signal indicates a first priority level of first data signals corresponding to the at least one first request signal. The second transceiver module, in the first network device, is configured to (i) generate at least one second request signal, and (ii) generate a second priority signal. The second transceiver module operates according to a second wireless communication standard. The at least one second request signal requests transmission or reception for the first transceiver module. The second priority signal indicates a second priority level of second data signals corresponding to the at least one second request signal. The arbitration module is configured to (i) based on the first priority level and the second priority level, arbitrate the at least one first request signal and the at least one second request signal, and (ii) based on the arbitration of the at least one first request signal and the at least one second request signal, selectively connect antennas to the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module in one of multiple configurations.
