Abstract
A technique is disclosed involves a station (e.g., an IEEE 802.11 station, etc.) requesting that one or more frames be transmitted from an access point to the station. The station might have been in power save mode during Bluetooth operation for the purpose of causing the access point to queue frames that are intended for the station. The station making the request is collocated with the Bluetooth station or is, in fact, a single station that supports two protocols (i.e., has two parts), and is able to determine the regular timing of the Bluetooth synchronous connected oriented (SCO) packet transmissions. The requests to the access point for IEEE 802.11 frames are timed to cause the access point response frames to fall between the Bluetooth messages, thus managing potential interference.
