Patent ID: 8730853

Claim:
A communications apparatus, comprising: a first radio module providing a first wireless communications service and communicating with a first communications device in compliance with a first protocol; and a second radio module providing a second wireless communications service and communicating with a second communications device in compliance with a second protocol, entering a learning phase, transmitting a first request message to the second communications device to request for a period of absence to support an initial setup or connection setup operation of the first radio module, detecting activities of the first radio module, obtaining a first traffic pattern describing traffic allocations of the first radio module, and after the learning phase, generating a second traffic pattern of the second radio module according to the first traffic pattern to coordinate operations of the first and second radio modules, and transmitting a second request message carrying the second traffic pattern to the second communications device, wherein the second traffic pattern describes recommended traffic allocations to a plurality of sub-frames for the second radio module, and each sub-frame defined by the second protocol comprises a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.
