Abstract: A system and method for conserving power for wireless communications. Packet communication information to and from a wireless device is determined. A traffic profile is selected from a light traffic profile, a periodic traffic profile, and a heavy traffic profile in response to the determined packet communication information. Packets are communicated with a wireless access point utilizing a power mode determined in response to the selected traffic profile. The power mode is utilized by the wireless device independent of the wireless access point.

Abstract: Described is a WLAN/BT system with improved compatibility. It employs an adaptive algorithm that dynamically optimizes the WLAN data fragmentation size based on the current WLAN data rates such that the fragmented data packets fit the time slots allowed by the BT SCO stream gaps. The algorithm first uses system level information to acquire the concurrent BT traffic types to decide if TDM method needs to be enabled. Then it uses the smoothed WLAN date rate to calculate maximum fragmentation packet size consistent with current overall WLAN traffic.
