Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions that when executed by processing circuitry of a wireless device causes the processing circuitry to:
perform, for one or more iterations, a synchronization to allow a second wireless communication circuit of the wireless device operating in a second wireless communication network to operatively coexist with a first wireless communication circuit of the wireless device operating in a first wireless communication network in one or more wireless communication channels according to a time division multiplexing (TDM) plan, wherein to perform the synchronization comprises causing the processing circuitry to:
determine whether the one or more wireless communication channels are busy comprising to determine whether a packet has been detected by the wireless device in the one or more wireless communication channels and
in response to determining a packet has not been detected, determine whether the wireless device has sensed energy in the one or more wireless communication channels when one or more back-off counters associated with the TDM plan is zero;
in response to determining the one or more wireless communication channels are busy, grant, to the second communication circuit, use of the one or more wireless communication channels,

wherein to grant, to the second communication network, use of the one or more channels wireless communication channels comprises to grant, to the second wireless communication network in response to determining a network allocation vector (NAV) time being nonzero, use of the one or more wireless communication channels for use for a remainder of the NAV time.
