FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

This disclosure relates generally to multi-mode communications systems, and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus to optimize power consumption and capacity in a multi-mode communication system.

BACKGROUND

Some communications systems utilize multiple transceivers for communication. In some examples, the transceivers operate using different communications protocols and/or architectures. For example, a first transceiver may utilize radio frequency communications, while a second transceiver may utilize power line communications. Communications systems designers seek to utilize each of the transceivers as efficiently as possible.
