Abstract

Methods and systems for auto coexistence priority selection for a SCO link are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include a first Bluetooth device communicating with a collocated WLAN device via a coexistence method. The first Bluetooth device, prior to executing a non-SCO task, which may comprise tasks that do not involve SCO packet transfer, may communicate low priority via the coexistence method if a Bluetooth SCO link is present between the first Bluetooth device and a second Bluetooth device, and if a current task being handled by the first Bluetooth device is a high priority task. If a SCO link is not present between the first and second Bluetooth devices, and if the current non-SCO task is a high priority task, the first Bluetooth device may communicate high priority via the coexistence method prior to executing the non-SCO task.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
receiving, at a traffic arbitration device, a non-SCO task from a first Bluetooth device co-located with the traffic arbitration device, wherein the non-SCO task is assigned a high priority by the first Bluetooth device;
determining, by the traffic arbitration device, whether a Bluetooth SCO link with a second Bluetooth device is currently present;
reassigning, by the traffic arbitration device,…
