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 15):
A method of simultaneously operating a WIFI network and a lower-power network over a shared medium, comprising:\n determining, using a lower-power network controller, that an incoming packet is being received from the shared medium; asserting a request signal from the lower-power network controller to a WIFI controller before an entirety of the incoming packet is received from the shared medium; and transmitting an acknowledgement packet over the shared medium after receiving the incoming packet, using the lower-power network controller, if a destination address of the incoming packet matches an address of the lower-power network controller and the WIFI controller indicates that it is not transmitting a packet.
