Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first wireless communication module having a first antenna request terminal and at least a first wireless communication signaling terminal; a second wireless communication module having a second antenna request terminal and at least a second wireless communication signaling terminal; an arbiter (i) coupled to receive from one of the first wireless communication module or the second wireless communication module, via the first antenna request terminal or the second antenna request terminal, respectively, a request for access to an antenna and (ii) operable to cause the antenna to be coupled to one of the first wireless communication signaling terminal or the second wireless communication signaling terminal in response to the request; and a coexistence module operable to prevent the arbiter from receiving a request from the second wireless communication module to thereby allow a communication of the first wireless communication module by disabling the second antenna request terminal.
