Abstract:
1. A multi-mode wireless handheld apparatus comprising: a transceiver; a first media access controller operative in accordance with a first communications standard; a second media access controller operative in accordance with a second communications standard; and a coexistence engine configured to arbitrate access to the transceiver for the first media access controller and the second media access controller when an access conflict to the transceiver occurs between the first media access controller and the second media access controller, wherein the coexistence engine is configured to arbitrate access according to a dynamically adjusted rule set by using predictive data to determine whether the first media access controller or the second media access controller is given access to the transceiver, wherein the predictive data indicates at least historical access to the transceiver and wherein the predictive data includes at least two of, a past history of access to the transceiver by the first media access controller and the second media access controller, quality of service (QoS) metrics for the first media access controller and the second media access controller, priority levels assigned to the first media access controller and the second media access controller, and expected bandwidth requirements of the transceiver.
