Abstract
A system for managing the operation of a plurality of radio modems contained within the same wireless communication device. The radio modems may be managed so that simultaneous communication involving two or more radio modems utilizing conflicting wireless communication mediums may be avoided. More specifically, a multiradio controller may identify when scheduled communication time in a radio modem using a more dominant, or high priority, wireless communication medium will in actually go unused, and may reallocate some or all of the now available scheduled time to radio modems using a lower priority wireless communication medium that have messages to transact.
