A method and system for collocated IEEE 802.11 b/g WLAN, and Bluetooth
(BT) with FM in coexistent operation are provided. A single chip
comprising an integrated BT radio and an integrated FM radio in a
coexistence station may generate a priority signal to disable WLAN
transmissions in a WLAN radio when a BT HV3 frame is available for
transmission. When the priority signal is asserted, an exponentially
growing retransmission backoff mechanism in the WLAN radio may be
disabled. Moreover, when the BT radio and the WLAN radio are enabled for
coexistence operation, a WLAN fragmentation threshold in the WLAN radio
may be modified based on a WLAN modulation rate and the BT HV3 frame
duration. An on-chip processor that time multiplexes FM and Bluetooth
data processing may be utilized to control the BT radio operation and the
FM radio operation in the single chip.
