Abstract: A novel and useful system for providing high transmission power using a shared Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) front end module (FEM). A single power amplifier in the front end module is shared between the WLAN and Bluetooth radio cores, thus providing a high power transmission option (Bluetooth class 1) for the Bluetooth core. Interface circuitry in the FEM couple either the WLAN TX output or the Bluetooth TX output to the input of the power amplifier and couple the output of the power amplifier to the external antenna. In the receive direction, the interface circuitry steers the antenna input to the respective WLAN or Bluetooth receivers in accordance with one or more control signals. Alternatively, a switch in the WLAN/Bluetooth radio chip functions to switch the Bluetooth TX output to a conventional FEM, thereby allowing the FEM power amplifier to be shared between the WLAN and Bluetooth radio cores.

Abstract: An access point (210) equipped with a storage medium (220) and configured to buffer video streams (315, 320) can efficiently manage the amount of bandwidth consumed by wireless video clients (140) accessing the same video at the same access point, thereby reducing the impact on service to coexistent wireless users (130) of that access point.
