  • ZigBee, Thread and BLE co-existence with 2.4 GHz WiFi
    Patent number: 10667285
    Abstract: A system and method of minimizing interference and retries in an environment where two or more network protocols utilize the same frequency spectrum is disclosed. A lower-power network controller is co-located with a WIFI controller. The lower-power network controller parses incoming packets as they are received and generates a request signal once it is determined that the incoming packet is destined for this device. This maximizes the likelihood that no WIFI traffic will occur while the incoming packet is being received.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2020
    Assignee: Silicon Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Terry Lee Dickey, Christopher L. McCrank, Jesse Ira Masters, Donald Miner Markuson, Micah Solomon Evans
