    Abstract: An electronic device having a communications module which can operate using a plurality of protocols receives a set of policies each of which includes information about prioritizing communications for a protocol. For example voice traffic may be prioritized over data or communication to or from a device such as a headset may be prioritized over communication to a different device. The device determines timing and frequency information associated with each protocol and schedules transmission and reception for each of the protocols based on the policy and timing and frequency information. Data from a first protocol (e.g. Bluetooth) can be interleaved into time intervals of non-transmission of a second protocol (non-Bluetooth).

    Abstract: An electronic device having a communications module with a first set of data rates can be enabled to use the communications module to process signals received from a source that uses a second set of data rates. The device may generate packets, frames, etc. at the first set of data rates using the communications module from the signals received from the remote source by sampling signals at one or more of the first set of data rates. The device may then reconstruct data or payloads originally transmitted in the signals at the second set of data rates from the packets generated at the first set of data rates. Thus, the device can process signals or transmissions at the second set of data rates using the first set of data rates without requiring additional receivers or communications modules to process the signals.
