  • Patent number: 7239615
    Abstract: A wireless device is provided with a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver operative in a coordinated manner and coupled to at least one controller manager. The first wireless transceiver transmits and receives signals in accordance with a first protocol to and from a first network device of a first wireless network communicatively coupled to the apparatus, and the second wireless transceiver transmits and receives signals in accordance with a second protocol to and from a second network device of a second wireless network communicatively coupled to the apparatus. The wireless device is further provided with a network manager to coordinate the transmit and receive operations of the first wireless transceiver and said the second wireless transceiver in order to enable the wireless device to communicate contemporaneously with the first and second wireless networks.

  • Patent number: 6928266
    Abstract: A wireless device is provided with a wireless transceiver to transmit and receive signals in accordance with a first protocol to and from network devices of a first wireless network, and a controller manager to control operation of the wireless transceiver. The wireless device is further provided with a wireless receiver to receive signals transmitted in accordance with a second protocol by network devices of a second wireless network, and the controller manager is equipped to control operation of the wireless transceiver based at least in part on at least one signaling characteristic of the received signals from network devices of the second wireless network, to reduce interference with proximately located ones of the network devices of the second wireless network. In various embodiments, the controller manager suspends operation of the wireless transceiver whenever interference is predicted.

  • Patent number: 6600726
    Abstract: A wireless device is provided with at least one wireless transceiver and at least one controller manager to transmit and receive signals wirelessly to and from network devices of a first and second wireless network, in a coordinated manner, in accordance with a first and a second protocol respectively. The wireless device is further provided with a network manager to coordinate the network devices of the first and second wireless networks to reduce interference between the network devices of the two wireless networks. In various embodiments, the reduction is effectuated through proactive avoidance of interference with dominant devices by dominated devices, whenever an interference is predicted to occur. In other embodiments, the reduction is effectuated through corresponding application of appropriate filtering to correspondingly cancel the respective interfering signals, whenever an interference is predicted to occur.
