A layer 1 control (L1C) architecture which processes radio link (RL) requests received from a layer 3 (L3) radio resource control (RRC), and physical data requests received from a layer 2 (L2) medium access control (MAC). The L1C architecture includes a mode connection controller (MCC) unit, a transmit/receive unit, a transmit frame scheduler (FS) unit and a receive FS router. The L1C architecture further includes an L1C database, a transmit frame table, a receive frame table and a frame counter database. The receive FS router accesses control messages received from a processor which implements layer 1 processing (L1P) and routes the control messages to the MCC unit and the transmit/receive unit. The transmit FS unit forwards control or data messages received from the transmit frame table to the processor. The frame counter database provides frame numbering services for use by any L1C process based on an L1P-generated L1 frame number.
