Described is a system which includes a computing arrangement and an access
point. The computing arrangement may include a first radio transceiver
operating in accordance with a first communication protocol using a
frequency band and a second radio transceiver operating in accordance
with a second communication protocol using the frequency band. The access
point operates in accordance with the first communication protocol and
transmits a communication signal using the first communication protocol.
The signal has a frame including a first time interval indicative of when
communications using the first communication protocol via the frequency
band are permitted. The first radio transceiver receives the signal and
the computing arrangement determines if the frame includes a second time
interval. The second time interval is indicative of when communications
using the second communication protocol via the frequency band are
permitted. The second interval is reserved for exclusive communication in
accordance with the second communication protocol. If the second time
interval is absent from the frame, the computing arrangement inserts the
second time interval into the frame. The second radio transceiver
communicates with a further device utilizing the second communication
protocol only during the second time interval.
