Abstract:
A system and method of minimizing interference and retries in an environment where two or more network protocols utilize the same frequency spectrum is disclosed. A lower-power network controller is co-located with a WIFI controller. The lower-power network controller parses incoming packets as they are received and generates a request signal once it is determined that the incoming packet is destined for this device. This maximizes the likelihood that no WIFI traffic will occur while the incoming packet is being received.

Claim (Index 8):
A system comprising:\n a WIFI controller, comprising a request signal used as an input to request exclusive access to a shared medium and a grant signal used as an output indicating that the exclusive access to the shared medium has been granted; and a lower-power network controller, comprising a network interface in communication with the shared medium, a processing unit and an associated memory element, wherein the lower-power network controller is configured to:\n assert the request signal when the lower-power network controller determines that a lower-power network packet is being received from the shared medium; \n parse the lower-power network packet to determine if the lower-power network packet is destined for this controller; and \n deassert the request signal if it is determined that the lower-power network packet is not destined for this controller.
