Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for using shared antennas for multi-protocol communication. Example devices may include a first antenna, a second antenna, memory and at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute computer-executable instructions to determine a first request for a first wireless radio to transmit first data for a first duration, determine a second request for a second wireless radio to receive second data during the first duration, and determine that a first signal strength associated with the first wireless radio is less than or equal to a first threshold. Certain embodiments may be configured to determine that communication associated with the first wireless radio has a higher priority than communication associated with the second wireless radio, cause the first wireless radio to transmit the first data using a first antenna for the first duration, and cause a second antenna to be idle.
