Wireless device system—architecture

摘要

A wireless device system-architecture and wireless device includes functional layers each including one or more respective layer elements where the functional layers are operatively connected and ordered as a cascade of functional layers for data-transfer from one layer to its one or more adjacent functional layers. The architecture further includes one or more matrix-switches, each operatively connected between each two functional layers in the cascade of functional layers. A matrix-switch controller is operable to determine at least two processing routes for data-transfer from at least one layer element in one functional layer, to at least one layer element in a second functional layer, wherein each of the at least two processing routes is associated with a different application processor layer element and wherein data is being transmitted via the at least two processing routes, in the same direction, substantially at the same time.

主权项

1. A wireless device, comprising:
a plurality of functional layers each of said functional layers comprising one or more respective layer elements, wherein said functional layers include at least an application processor functional layer and at least two other functional layers; two or more matrix-switches, each matrix-switch operable to connect between a pair of functional layers from said plurality of functional layers, in order to generate one or more processing routes, each processing route connecting said plurality of functional layers in a cascade of functional layers to enable transmission of data between said plurality of functional layers; a matrix-switch controller operatively connected to said two or more matrix-switches and operable to: determine, based on information in respect of transmitted data, a required combination of one or more connections for each of said matrix-switches; each connection, connecting between one or more layer element in a first functional layer of a respective pair of functional and one or more layer element in a second functional layer of the respective pair of functional layers; and instruct said two or more matrix-switches to execute said connections and thereby create said one or more processing routes for transmitting said data.
