20150024687 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COEXISTENCE BETWEEN MULTIPLE WIRELESS NETWORKS - Use is made of the Notice-of-Absence (NoA), as is a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth time sharing mechanism. This mechanism dictates ‘n’ cycles of absent and present duration of P2P-GO starting at a defined time ‘t’. The information bits of NoA are communicated from GO to the Client in the Beacons (for the period of NoA in use). Time-sharing between Bluetooth and WLAN at P2P-GO, is communicated using NoA to the P2P-Client. For the duration of both Bluetooth and WLAN radios transmitting/receiving traffic, NoA is used such that the absent duration covers the Bluetooth Interval and present-duration covers the WLAN interval. This NoA remains effective for as long as the time-sharing mode between BT and WLAN radios. As soon as, P2P-GO enters the time-sharing mode, NoA parameters are determined based on the timesharing mode (Dynamic Long and Dynamic Short). The start time of NoA schedule is determined after synchronizing to the time-sharing scheduler. The start time of NoA schedule is ‘n’ TBTTs after entering the time-sharing mode so that the Clients have ample opportunity to receive the NoA information. Until NoA schedule starts, P2P-GO may protect Bluetooth Interval using CTS2S frames. After NoA schedule comes into play, P2P-GO may send CTS2S only for asynchronous Bluetooth traffic. | 2015-01-22 |
