ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi and Thread coexistence: which measurements explain delayed packets?

The C6 shares its RF resource between these protocols. Start with each workload separately, then enable both with the same traffic pattern. Record message sequence numbers, packet loss, retries and latency percentiles. A successful connection on each network does not establish simultaneous peak throughput.

Vary Wi-Fi upload size and duty cycle before changing several radio settings together. A periodic upload can produce a different latency distribution from a continuous transfer with the same average byte rate. Include discovery, reconnects and weak-signal conditions because these change radio demand.

Define a deadline for the sensor messages and count deadline misses. Where the application permits, schedule bulk uploads between reporting windows and bound queues so old readings do not arrive as apparently current data. Confirm the supported coexistence combinations for the exact ESP-IDF release used in the product.
