A wireless device is provided with a wireless transceiver to transmit and receive
signals in accordance with a first protocol to and from network devices of a first
wireless network, and a controller manager to control operation of the wireless
transceiver. The wireless device is further provided with a wireless receiver to
receive signals transmitted in accordance with a second protocol by network devices
of a second wireless network, and the controller manager is equipped to control
operation of the wireless transceiver based at least in part on at least one signaling
characteristic of the received signals from network devices of the second wireless
network, to reduce interference with proximately located ones of the network devices
of the second wireless network. In various embodiments, the controller manager
suspends operation of the wireless transceiver whenever interference is predicted.
In other embodiments, the controller manager causes an appropriate filter to be
applied whenever interference is predicted.
