1. A method comprising:

determining, by a first network device, an anticipated first data transmission between the first network device and a first user device via a first communication protocol;

receiving, by the first network device and via a second communication protocol, a message indicating an anticipated second data transmission from a second user device to a second network device via the first communication protocol;

determining, based on the received message and based on a distance between the first network device and the second network device satisfying a threshold, that interference with the second data transmission is unlikely to occur; and

causing the first data transmission to occur at least partially during a time period in which the second data transmission occurs.
