  • Method and device for supporting multiple wireless protocols with a medium access control preprocessor
    Patent number: 11070526
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes: obtaining a multi-protocol schedule, wherein the multi-protocol schedule includes scheduling information characterizing packets associated with a plurality of wireless protocols, wherein each of the plurality of wireless protocols is associated with a respective virtual gateway of a plurality of virtual gateways; detecting, by a wireless transceiver, a first packet related to a first wireless protocol of the plurality of wireless protocols based on the multi-protocol schedule; and transmitting, by the wireless transceiver, the first packet related to the first wireless protocol to a first virtual gateway of the plurality of virtual gateways. According to some embodiments, the method is performed by a device (e.g., a MAC preprocessor) that includes a wireless transceiver, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory.
