Patent ID: 7738433

Claim:
A method for adapting at least one transmission setting to be applied by a first transceiver for communications in a predetermined frequency band in response to communication by a second transceiver that communicates in the predetermined frequency band, the method comprising: determining whether prioritized data traffic is to be communicated by the second transceiver; and in response to determining that prioritized data traffic is to be communicated by the second transceiver, adapting the transmission setting applied to the first transceiver in response to a duty cycle of the prioritized data traffic; wherein adapting the transmission setting applied to the first transceiver further comprises adapting a maximum allowable size of a data payload of a data frame to be transmitted by the first transceiver in response to determining that prioritized data traffic is to be communicated by the second transceiver, and wherein adapting a maximum allowable size of data payload of a data frame to be transmitted by the first transceiver comprises adapting the maximum allowable size so that a frame exchange duration of the first transceiver does not exceed an inactive time period of the second transceiver.
