Abstract
Wireless communication networks utilize various communication protocols to exchange data between wireless network devices. Overlapping communication frequencies between data exchange protocols present a collision and interference problem when data transmissions are transmitted using similar timing and frequency characteristics during wireless transit. A device and various network configurations for monitoring, moderating, and/or coordinating wireless transmission traffic in a wireless communication network where overlapping communication frequencies coexist is described to significantly reduce or avoid interference caused by signal collisions.
