Patent ID: 8224378

Claim:
A wireless device, comprising: a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver, the first transceiver configured for operation with a first wireless network, and the second transceiver configured for operation with a second wireless network; and logic that determines which of the first and second transceivers is enabled to transmit at a given time; wherein the logic is configured to select between reserving a time interval for use by the first transceiver and surrendering the time interval for transmissions by other devices on the first network, the selecting based on whether a pending transaction via the first transceiver can be completed prior to a predicted start time of a predicted transaction via the second transceiver and a comparison of a measure of total prior reserved time to a measure of total prior surrendered time; and wherein the logic selects to reserve the time interval for use by the first transceiver based on being unable to complete the pending transmission prior to the predicted start time and a comparison of the measure of total prior surrendered time to the measure of total prior reserved time.
