At least two types of wireless devices may be simultaneously handled in a
system (i.e., on a wireless-enabled platform (e.g., Bluetooth and IEEE
802.11) in a personal computing environment, such as a personal computer
system) in a way that substantially mitigates interference between the
wireless devices interfacing therewith. To mitigate cross-interference
among multiple radio frequency device types while operating in tandem or
concurrently, in a wireless communication-enabled personal computer
system, transmission and/or reception from and to all radio frequency
device types but the active one radio frequency device type may be
selectively blocked. In one embodiment, gating signals from at least two
active wireless transceivers may be detected. Using the type information
of the active wireless transceivers, a priority may be assigned to each
active wireless transceiver. Pending transactions associated with each
active wireless transceiver may also be tracked. Based on the priority
and the pending transactions, communication control may be arbitrated
(e.g., through time slicing) between active wireless transceivers.
