Patent ID: 7657286

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving time-sensitive synchronization information at a multiradio controller from a plurality of radio modems, wherein the multiradio controller is coupled to the plurality of radio modems through one or more interfaces dedicated to conveying time-sensitive information between the multiradio controller and the plurality of radio modems; avoiding communication conflicts between the plurality of radio modems by creating an operational schedule for controlling the plurality of radio modems at the multiradio controller based on the received synchronization information; providing the operational schedule as control information from the multiradio controller through the one or more interfaces to the plurality of radio modems; monitoring the operation of the plurality of radio modems via signals received through the one or more interfaces dedicated to conveying time-sensitive information; and transmitting a disable command to at least one of the plurality of radio modems when detecting a change in operation in the plurality of radio modems that will cause a potential communication conflict between any of the plurality of radio modems.
