Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a first device, a request for a first allocation of bandwidth from a second device sharing bandwidth with the first device via a communication medium; reserving a periodic coexistence slot, for use by the first device, by transmitting a slot allocation request; receiving a slot allocation confirmation from the second device indicating the second device received the slot allocation request; generating a coexistence frame requesting a second allocation of bandwidth for the first device, the second allocation of bandwidth based, at least in part, on the first allocation of bandwidth; transmitting the coexistence frame to the second device during the periodic coexistence slot of a first reservation period; and delaying, by a time period and in response to transmitting the coexistence frame, a transmission by the first device from the periodic coexistence slot of the first reservation period to the periodic coexistence slot of a second reservation period.
