Smart radio arbiter with conflict resolution based on timing predictability

Abstract:

A radio arbitrator, electronic system, and method for wireless communication are disclosed in which at least two RF requests are received through a single radio module. The radio arbitrator performs predictive arbitration based on timing information of connection events to maintain a wireless connection, which is known prior to receiving RF requests including the connection events. Rf requests may be based on one or more of ZIGBEE.RTM., Bluetooth.RTM. Low Energy, or Wi-Fi communication topologies.
