Abstract:
1. A method in a communication device for providing communications using first and second radio frequency (RF) transceiver modules of the communication device, the first RF transceiver module operating in accordance with a first communication protocol standard and the second RF transceiver module operating in accordance with a second communication protocol standard, the method comprising: reserving selected timeslots of a wireless communication link with the first RF transceiver module for establishing a synchronous link; causing the reserved timeslots of the synchronous link to be kept clear from the communication of data of a first communication function while the data of the first communication function are communicated via the first RF transceiver module during remaining unreserved timeslots of the wireless communication link; and causing the remaining unreserved timeslots to be kept clear from the communication of data of the second communication function while the data of the second communication function are communicated via the second RF transceiver module during the reserved timeslots of the synchronous link.
