/Methods And Apparatus To Opportunistically Operate A Wlan Interface Using Shared Resources
Abstract

An example apparatus includes: wireless local area network (WLAN) interface circuitry configured to communicate using a resource; alternate interface circuitry configured to use the resource; and coexistence controller circuitry coupled to the WLAN interface circuitry and the alternate interface circuitry, the coexistence controller circuitry including: a first interface monitor coupled to the WLAN interface circuitry, the first interface monitor configured to determine characteristics of a target wakeup time (TWT) service of the WLAN interface circuitry; a second interface monitor coupled to the alternate interface circuitry, the second interface monitor configured to determine characteristics of an alternate activity period window of the alternative interface circuitry; a coexistence comparator coupled to the first interface monitor and the second interface monitor, the coexistence comparator configured to determine a predicted TWT service period of the TWT service that overlaps with a predicted alternate activity period window less than a threshold.
