Abstract
Systems and techniques relating to wireless communications are described. A described technique includes performing, at a wireless communication device, an arbitration among multiple different wireless radio technologies, which collectively use two or more radio resources of the wireless communication device, to produce an arbitration result; and operating the two or more radio resources in accordance with the arbitration result. Performing the arbitration can include performing a first level arbitration between a request associated with a first technology of the multiple different wireless radio technologies and a request associated with a second technology of the multiple different wireless radio technologies to produce a first level result; and performing a second level arbitration to produce a second level result when indicated by the first level result. The arbitration result can be based on the first level result and the second level result, if any.
