Method, apparatuses and system for data processing in a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) communication system

摘要

A method and arrangement for processing data in a communication system, using a configuration header containing configuration data for use in processing data through a plurality of processes including a first process and a second process; and passing the configuration header with inter-process data from the first process to the second process, whereby the second process extracts configuration data from the configuration header passed from the first process. Extra data may also be added to the configuration header to save recalculation of certain parameters. This avoids disadvantages of using a central controller and allows processing to proceed from one processing step to another without requiring prior knowledge of the processing latencies of each processing step.
