Abstract: Communication devices and techniques for facilitating dual-mode communication within a single wireless communication device are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory and logic for a wireless communication device, at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to perform a transmission determination to determine whether to transmit a signal in a low-energy mode or a body-communication mode, map the signal to a body-communication channel responsive to the transmission determination indicating the body-communication mode, and map the signal to a low-energy channel responsive to the transmission determination indicating the low-energy mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
