ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for improving co-existence between Bluetooth and 802.11 networks is described. In one embodiment, the invention is a method. The method includes detecting in software a backup in transmission of data through a first wireless channel. The method further includes shifting priority in software from transmission of data through a second wireless channel to transmission of data through the first wireless channel. The method also includes determining in software if the backup eases and shifting priority back in software from transmission of data through the first wireless channel to transmission of data through the second wireless channel. As will be appreciated, characteristics of an embodiment of the invention need not appear in all embodiments within the spirit and scope of the invention.
