Claim 5:
6. A method for supporting coexistence between a first transceiver circuit configured to communicate a first radio frequency (RF) signal and a second transceiver circuit configured to communicate a second RF signal in a shared RF medium comprising:
asserting a medium access request for receiving the second RF signal in the shared RF medium in response to detecting a preamble of an incoming packet in the RF signal;
setting a predetermined time-out timer immediately when the medium access request is granted, wherein the predefined time-out timer is longer than a temporal duration required for completing one or more of:
receiving the incoming packet in the second RF signal; and
receiving a medium access control (MAC) layer retransmission of the incoming packet; and

de-asserting the medium access request in response to an expiration of the predefined time-out timer.
