Processor arrangement for multi mode wireless device

摘要

A multi mode wireless device can communicate with cellular and non-cellular networks. The device has first and second processors in communication with each other. In one arrangement, the first processor provides control processing for physical layer 1 processing for both the cellular and the non-cellular radio communications in parallel, and the second processor provides processing for data link layer 2 for both the cellular and the non-cellular radio communications in parallel, and the device can communicate with the cellular and non-cellular networks simultaneously. In another arrangement, the first processor provides control processing for physical layer 1 processing for both the cellular and the non-cellular radio communications in parallel, and the second processor provides processing for data link layer 2 and all layers above layer 2 in the device for both the cellular and the non-cellular radio communications in parallel.

主权项

1. A processor arrangement for a multi mode wireless device for communicating with cellular and non-cellular networks simultaneously, the processor arrangement comprising:
a first processor and a second processor, the first and second processors being in communication with each other; the first processor being arranged to provide control processing for physical layer 1 processing for both the cellular radio communications and the non-cellular radio communications of said multi mode wireless device simultaneously and in parallel; and, the second processor being arranged to provide processing for data link layer 2 for both the cellular radio communications and the non-cellular radio communications of said multi mode wireless device simultaneously and in parallel.
