Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to disconnecting Wi-Fi radios due to operation of collocated wireless technology on a same device. A device may identify a first beacon received from an access point (AP), the first beacon indicating a beacon interval and received using a Wi-Fi radio. The device may determine an expected time to receive a second beacon. The device may identify a first signal received from a non-Wi-Fi radio collocated with the Wi-Fi radio. The device may determine, based on the first signal, an indication of a transmission or a reception of a second signal by the second radio during a time which overlaps the beacon interval. The device may determine a failure to identify a second beacon during the beacon interval. The device may determine a counter and may determine, based on the counter, a connection status of the first radio with the AP.
