Embodiments of a multi-radio communication device and method for enabling coexistence between a Bluetooth transceiver and a broadband wireless access network (BWAN) transceiver are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the BWAN transceiver is configured to transmit a reservation request to a BWAN base station to reserve an amount of time during which no uplink transmissions are scheduled. The reservation request is configured to allow the Bluetooth transceiver to receive packets from a Bluetooth device without interference from transmissions by the BWAN transceiver.
