System and methods for using communication resources

摘要

Embodiments of a system and method for using radio frequency (RF) resources are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the system includes an antenna subsystem including antenna apertures. The system may also include devices configured to execute a plurality RF tasks. The system may further include memory to store a prioritized list of RF tasks. The system may still further include a manager to receive a request from an RF task to use an antenna aperture. The manager may insert the RF task into a prioritized list of RF tasks within a time duration specified in the request. The manager may spawn a thread to execute the RF task through the antenna aperture, within a time frame depending on the RF task's position in the prioritized list.

1. A method of using communication resources, the method comprising:
receiving a request from a first radio frequency (RF) task to use antenna aperture resources; accessing a prioritized list of RF tasks to determine a priority level of the requesting first RF task; allocating an antenna aperture to the first RF task within a response time of the request, the response time being based on the priority level of the first RF task; executing the first RF task through the allocated antenna aperture by:
spawning a thread to execute the first RF task; andexecuting the thread in parallel, for a time duration including time slices, with other threads of other RF tasks to which the antenna aperture resource is allocated; and allocating time slices of the antenna aperture or another antenna aperture to another RF task that is lower in priority than the first RF task based on an inspection of the list of RF tasks.
