Abstract: A sensor gateway manages wireless communications to sensors and the exchange of data between the sensors and a connection to the Internet. A sensor gateway processor runs the network and wireless stack, automatically picks the same channel as the home access point (AP), and runs sensor software to provide the sensors with low power, wireless support and deep sleep support. The sensor gateway selects same channel as the home AP by following the strongest beacon or by following the home AP service set identifier (SSID), in case more than one strong beacon is present. If the home AP and sensor gateway are placed close by and are on a different channel in 2.4G, there is destructive interference between the two devices. By using same channel on the sensor gateway as that of the home AP, both devices can coexist in same band without destructive interference.

Abstract translation: 传感器网关管理传感器的无线通信和传感器之间的数据交换以及与因特网的连接。 传感器网关处理器运行网络和无线堆栈，自动选择与家庭接入点（AP）相同的通道，并运行传感器软件，为传感器提供低功率，无线支持和深度睡眠支持。 传感器网关在存在多于一个强信标的情况下，通过跟随最强信标或跟随归属AP服务集标识符（SSID）来选择与归属AP相同的信道。 如果家庭AP和传感器网关放置在2.4G附近并且位于不同的信道上，则两个设备之间存在破坏性的干扰。 通过在传感器网关上使用与家庭AP相同的信道，两个设备可以共存在相同的频带中，而不会产生相互破坏的干扰。

In some embodiments, the radio circuits operate on the same network protocol. The network device can include a coexistence controller coupled to the network circuits. According to some embodiments, the network circuits are each assigned a priority, and the coexistence controller can control operations between the network circuits by selectively adjusting one or more transmission operating parameters of a respective network circuit based on a plurality of operating criteria, which include each network circuit's priority. Among other benefits, the embodiments disclosed herein can increase wireless network bandwidth and reduce mobile device power consumption by providing coordination among the radio circuits so that the transmitting and receiving operations are performed in a way that they do not interfere with their respective antennas.
