Abstract: A computing device is described for performing local interference avoidance, when supporting concurrent voice and data transmissions, and with access to multiple radios. The computing device predicts when coexistence issues will occur from maintaining independent voice and data transmissions using separate radios.

In some cases, the computing device may consolidate the voice and non-voice data exchanges to occur using a single radio. In some cases, rather than consolidation, the computing device may move the voice or the non-voice data exchange to a different radio as a way to avoid the local interference.
