Abstract

In one example, a method and system for selecting a channel for use with a mobile communication device is described. A shared frequency band shared between a first wireless communications protocol and a second wireless communications protocol is scanned to identify an active second wireless communications protocol channel. One or more first wireless communications protocol channels corresponding to the active second wireless communications protocol channel are removed from a list of selectable channels. A first wireless communications protocol channel is selected from the list of selectable channels.
