We are using Murata 1MW module having Infineon IC CYW43455 in a single shared antenna configuration. We are facing packet drops in Bluetooth audio when we try to simultaneously operate 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. No problem with 5GHZ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simultaneous operation.
1. Is this behavior expected in simultaneous 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and BT operation ?
2. How 5GHz was able to share the antenna with Bluetooth simultaneously (TDMA)? Since only single antenna is used does it switches in time and appear to be simultaneous? Will the throughput reduce in such case?
3. Is simultaneous Tx-Tx and Rx-Rx possible?

Hello:
1. Is this behavior expected in simultaneous 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and BT operation ?
A: Yes, we have different modes since some project needs small bandwidth on BT, but need a stable and larger bandwidth on Wifi. So we defined different modes to help with the cases, if you want to use A2DP more, I suggest the below params that can be added to the NVRAM.
btc_mode=1
btc_params8=0x4e20
btc_params1=0x7530
btc_params50=0x972c
The parameters are complicated and need fine-tuning according to different requests.
but it is better to co-work with our local support team with real projects.
2. How 5GHz was able to share the antenna with Bluetooth simultaneously (TDMA)? Since only single antenna is used does it switches in time and appear to be simultaneous? Will the throughput reduce in such case?
A: We have RF controls pins connected to the Diplexer of FEM, the RF control will work well with the firmware provided to the customers, and I think it is TDM mechanism according to the tasks of different priorities on 2.4G. If you want BT more, wifi throughput will decrease, but we can fine-tune it to a good balance. 5G part has a standalone path of the MAC-PA-FEM-Antenna, so the coex will not influence it.
Since only single antenna is used does it switches in time and appear to be simultaneous?
This is true.
3. Is simultaneous Tx-Tx and Rx-Rx possible?
A: yes, Tx-Tx, Rx-Rx is possible. many use cases have the same request.
