Abstract
An electronic apparatus and a method for determining which of a plurality of coexistence modes to execute with a processor. The processor selectively runs one or more applications. Each coexistence mode when executed enables coexistence of wireless communication according to first and second wireless communication protocols. The processor executes a program so as to: measure wireless signal conditions of signals received with the first and second wireless communication protocols, respectively; determine packet statistics of communication packets received with the first and second wireless communication protocols, respectively; obtain, for each application being run by the processor, an application performance indication, an application first communication protocol setting; and an application second communication protocol setting; determine which one of the coexistence modes to execute based on the wireless signal conditions, the packet statistics, the application performance indication, application first communication protocol setting; and the application second communication protocol setting.
