A network interface 1202 couples with the wireless processor 1208 and includes a set of wireless radios 1203A-1203B. The network interface 1202 can enable support for wireless networking protocols such as, but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, near field communication (NFC), and/or other wireless networking technologies. In some implementations, the network interface 1202 may also support a wired network connection. In one embodiment the network interface 1202 and wireless processor 1208 include hardware and/or software logic to optimize the coexistence of different wireless protocols that communicate within the same or similar bands. For example, the duty cycle of Bluetooth transmissions can be reduced during the heavy use of Wi-Fi in the 2.4 GHz band. Scans for Bluetooth advertisement packets or connection attempts to wireless accessories can be performed over a longer period of time at a reduce duty cycle to avoid interfering with Wi-Fi transmission. When the heavy 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi usage ceases, the scan or connection can be restarted at a higher duty cycle.
