Claim:
A wireless terminal, comprising: a first transceiver operating in a wireless PAN network for communicating first data units in accordance with a first communications protocol and operating in a wireless communications band; a second transceiver operating in a wireless LAN network for communicating second data units in accordance with a second communications protocol and operating in a band substantially the same as said wireless communications band; and a controller coupled to said first and second transceivers, assigning a higher transmission priority to said second data units than to said first data units when transmission or retransmission of said second data units overlaps a first occurring transmission of said first data units, to abort transmission of said first occurring data unit; said controller assigning a higher transmission priority to said aborted first data unit than to said second data units when transmission of said second data units overlaps the retransmission of said aborted first data unit, to transmit said aborted first data unit.
