Abstract

A wireless communication device may contain a plurality of physical layer radios that communicate using a set of communication protocols. In a first wireless communication device, the transmissions by a first physical layer radio using a first communication protocol may be divided into a series of time slots. Some of the time slots may be partially unoccupied allowing negotiation and use of a second communication protocol during the unoccupied portion of the time slot and succeeding time slots.
