Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: determining, by one or more integrated circuit devices, that a Bluetooth inquiry phase or a Bluetooth paging phase will begin within a determined amount of time, the Bluetooth inquiry phase or the Bluetooth paging phase including a first Bluetooth communication slot and a second Bluetooth communication slot; in response to determining that the Bluetooth inquiry phase or the Bluetooth paging phase will begin, sending, via a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication link, a power save indicator signal from a first communication device to a second communication device prior to a start of the Bluetooth inquiry phase or the Bluetooth paging phase, wherein the power save indicator signal indicates to the second communication device that the first communication device is in a WLAN power save mode; determining, at the one or more integrated circuit devices, a gap between the first Bluetooth communication slot and the second Bluetooth communication slot; determining, at the one or more integrated circuit devices, a time period within the gap, wherein an end of the time period occurs at a defined amount of time prior to a start of the second Bluetooth communication slot; and during the time period, sending, via the WLAN communication link, one or more first power save poll messages from the first communication device to the second communication device, each first power save poll message prompting the second communication device to transmit a respective first WLAN packet to the first communication device prior to the start of the second Bluetooth communication slot.
