Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with performing arbitration among a plurality of driver circuits in a communication device are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first source configured to transmit first packets and a second source configured to transmit second packets. The arbiter logic is configured to input a thermal management mode that is selected based, at least in part, on a thermal consequence of simultaneous transmission of packets from the first source and the second source. The arbiter logic is configured to select either i) the first packets, ii) the second packets, or iii) both the first packets and the second packets for transmission based, at least in part, on the thermal management mode input by the arbiter logic.
