Abstract

A wireless communication method of a wireless device is provided, wherein the wireless communication method comprises the steps of: building links with a plurality of electronic devices, respectively; and simultaneously using a time division multiplex mode and a frequency division multiplex mode to communicate with the plurality of electronic devices.

Claims (39)

1. A wireless communication method of a wireless device, comprising:

building links with a plurality of electronic devices, respectively; and

simultaneously using a time division multiplex (TDD) mode and a frequency division multiplex (FDD) mode to communicate with the plurality of electronic devices;

wherein the plurality of electronic devices comprise a first electronic device, a second electronic device and a third electronic device, and the step of simultaneously using the TDD mode and the FDD mode to communicate with the plurality of electronic devices comprises:

using a Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device;

using a first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device; and

using a second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device;

wherein the Bluetooth and the first Wi-Fi channel are used under the TDD mode, and

the Bluetooth and the second Wi-Fi channel are used under the FDD mode;

wherein during a first period, the wireless device uses the second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device while using the Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the second electronic device; and

during a second period following the first period, the wireless device uses the first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the first electronic device and the third electronic device.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device and the third electronic device belong to different basic service set (BSS).

3. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein a frequency difference between the Bluetooth and the first Wi-Fi channel is less than a frequency difference between the Bluetooth and the second Wi-Fi channel.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device communicates with the plurality of electronic devices by using a same band.

5. The wireless communication method of claim 4 , wherein the wireless device communicates with the plurality of electronic devices by using a 2.4 GHz industrial scientific medical (ISM) band.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 4 , wherein the wireless device communicates with the plurality of electronic devices by using a Bluetooth and two different Wi-Fi channels.

7. A wireless device, comprising:

a circuitry configured to:

building links with a plurality of electronic devices, respectively; and

simultaneously using a time division multiplex (TDD) mode and a frequency division multiplex (FDD) mode to communicate with the plurality of electronic devices;

wherein the plurality of electronic devices comprise a first electronic device, a second electronic device and a third electronic device; and the circuitry uses a Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, uses a first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and uses a second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device, wherein the Bluetooth and the first Wi-Fi channel are used under the TDD mode, and the Bluetooth and the second Wi-Fi channel are used under the FDD mode;

wherein during a first period, the wireless device uses the second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device while using the Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the second electronic device; and during a second period following the first period, the wireless device uses the first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the first electronic device and the third electronic device.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the second electronic device and the third electronic device belong to different basic service set (BSS).

9. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein a frequency difference between the Bluetooth and the first Wi-Fi channel is less than a frequency difference between the Bluetooth and the second Wi-Fi channel.

10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the circuitry communicates with the plurality of electronic devices by using a same band.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the circuitry communicates with the plurality of electronic devices by using a 2.4 GHz industrial scientific medical (ISM) band.

12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the circuitry communicates with the plurality of electronic devices by using a Bluetooth and two different Wi-Fi channels.

13. A wireless device, comprising:

a circuitry configured to:

using a Bluetooth to communicate with a first electronic device;

using a first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with a second electronic device,

wherein the Bluetooth and the first Wi-Fi channel are used under a time division multiplex (TDD) mode;

using a second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with a third electronic device, wherein the Bluetooth and the second Wi-Fi channel are used under a frequency division multiplex (FDD);

wherein during a first period, the wireless device uses the second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device while using the Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the second electronic device; and during a second period following the first period, the wireless device uses the first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the first electronic device and the third electronic device.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the second electronic device and the third electronic device belong to different basic service set (BSS).

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein a frequency difference between the Bluetooth and the first Wi-Fi channel is less than a frequency difference between the Bluetooth and the second Wi-Fi channel.

16. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein during a third period following the second period, the wireless device uses the second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device while using the Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the second electronic device; and during a fourth period following the third period, the wireless device uses the first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the first electronic device and the third electronic device.

17. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein during a third period following the second period, the wireless device uses the second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device while using the Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the second electronic device; and during a fourth period following the third period, the wireless device uses the first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the first electronic device and the third electronic device.

18. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein during a third period following the second period, the wireless device uses the second Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the third electronic device while using the Bluetooth to communicate with the first electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the second electronic device; and during a fourth period following the third period, the wireless device uses the first Wi-Fi channel to communicate with the second electronic device, and the wireless device does not communicate with the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
