Abstract: An interface circuit in an electronic device may communicate using communication protocol in a shared band of frequencies. During operation, the interface circuit may perform a scan of available channels in the shared band of frequencies, and may detect one or more used channels in the shared band of frequencies that are reserved or used by another communication protocol (such as a primary channel that is used by both of the communication protocols). Alternatively, the interface circuit may receive, from another interface circuit in the electronic device, information specifying the one or more used channels in the shared band of frequencies that are reserved or used by the other communication protocol. Next, the interface circuit may mask the one or more used channels from the available channels, and the interface circuit may select one or more channels from the remaining available channels for use with the communication protocol.
