Abstract
A technique is disclosed for improving how stations that operate in accordance with different protocols coexist with an access point that operates in accordance with a single protocol. In the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a station provides timing information to an IEEE 802.11 access point. The access point uses the timing information to determine when it may transmit any available frames to the station, so as not to interfere with any ongoing Bluetooth packet transmissions that are made by the station.
