Abstract
In a particular aspect, a method includes performing a first communication operation associated with a first frequency band using an antenna of a wireless device. The first communication operation is initiated by first communication circuitry of the wireless device. The first communication circuitry is associated with a first communication protocol. The method further includes, based on a duration of a second communication operation, performing the second communication operation associated with a second frequency band using the antenna of the wireless device. The second communication operation is initiated by second communication circuitry of the wireless device. The second communication circuitry is associated with a second communication protocol that is different than the first communication protocol. The first frequency band at least partially overlaps the second frequency band.
