Patent ID: 7885313

Claim:
A method, comprising: reducing interference in a first subsystem implementing a first wireless communication protocol operating in a first frequency band caused by a second subsystem implementing a second wireless communication protocol operating in a second frequency band, the second wireless communication protocol employing Adaptive Frequency Hopping, the method comprising calculating one or more prohibited frequencies in the second frequency band that are avoided by the second subsystem when the second subsystem operates in the second frequency band based on one or more frequencies in the first frequency band that are in use by the first subsystem, and based on a frequency separation between the one or more frequencies in the first frequency band that are in use by the first subsystem and the one or more frequencies in the second frequency band that are in use by the second subsystem; and avoiding by the second subsystem the one or more prohibited frequencies in the second frequency band as the second subsystem operates in the second frequency band.
