Abstract
A device including a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using a first antenna, according to a first communication protocol, a second transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using a second antenna, according to the first communication protocol, and a third transceiver configured to transmit and receive, using the second antenna, according to a second communication protocol. A controller is configured to select between a first mode where the first, second, and third transceivers are configured to respectively communicate using the first and second antennas at a same time, and a second mode where the first, second, and third transceivers are configured to respectively communicate using the first and second antennas at different times. In the first mode and the second mode, the controller is further configured to selectively allow the second transceiver to transmit and receive using the second antenna at a same time as the third transceiver.
