Optimized performance with mixed media access protocols

Abstract:

Optimized performance with a first media access protocol and a second media access protocol may be provided. First, media access for client devices associated with the first media access protocol may be scheduled for an Access Point (AP) for a first time period. The first time period may comprise a first predetermined amount of time. Next, media access for client devices associated with the first media access protocol may be paused for a second time period at the end of the first time period to allow client devices associated with the second media access protocol to access the media. The second time period may comprise a second predetermined amount of time. Then media access for client devices associated with the first media access protocol may be scheduled at the end of the second time period for a third time period. The third time period may comprise a third predetermined amount of time.
