Abstract:
Devices in a wireless network, such as wirelessly networked lighting devices, utilize two different types of radios, e.g. implementing two or more protocols such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Such radios operate in overlapping frequency bands of the RF spectrum. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) of the two types of radio operations mitigates interference between the protocols competing in the spectrum overlap. In the examples with lighting devices, a driver of the light source provides a data bus that may be used as an auxiliary communications channel to implement TDM access by the radios to the overlapping frequency bands.

Claim (Index 3):
A lighting system, comprising:\n wireless enabled light fixtures distributed about a space, each of the wireless enabled light fixtures including:\n a light source; and \n a first wireless transceiver of a first type configured to communicate over a first radio frequency band, \n each of two respective ones of the wireless enabled light fixtures further including:\n a light source driver having a power supply to drive the light source of the respective light fixture and a data bus interface; \n a data bus provided by the interface of the driver of the respective light fixture; and \n a second wireless transceiver of a second type different from the first type, each second wireless transceiver being configured to communicate over a second radio frequency band, the second radio frequency band at least partially overlapping the first frequency band; \n wherein in each of the respective wireless enabled light fixtures, the first type wireless transceiver and the second type wireless transceiver are:\n coupled to the data bus provided by the interface of the driver of the respective light fixture; and \n configured to implement time division multiple access radio communications over the respective first and second frequency bands, in response to at least some data on the data bus provided by the interface of the driver of the respective light fixture.
