Abstract
A mobile wireless communication device has multiple 802.11 transceivers. A first transceiver maintains a first 802.11 communication link in accordance with the 802.11 communication specification. A second transceiver maintains, simultaneously to the first transceiver maintaining the first 802.11 communication link, a second 802.11 communication link in accordance with the 802.11 communication specification. The first transceiver comprises first physical layer electronics for executing the physical layer functions of the first 802.11 communication link. The second transceiver comprises second physical layer electronics for executing the physical layer functions of the second 802.11 communication link. The electronics are implemented such that no portion of the first physical layer electronics forms a portion of the second physical layer electronics when the links are being simultaneously maintained.
