A transceiver-processor building block ( 700 ) for implementation of radio systems, an example being used in an electronic radio system multifunction slice, includes several transceivers ( 704-710 ), a processor connected to the transceivers ( 702 ), and a local RF control bus ( 726 ) coupled between the processor ( 702 ) and the transceivers ( 704-710 ). A radio network bus ( 716 ) is also provided and connected to the processor ( 702 ). The local RF control bus ( 726 ) is inaccessible directly from outside the multifunction slice. In contrast, the radio network bus ( 716 ) is accessible directly from outside the multifunction slice to allow "stacking" of multiple slices. The building block ( 700 ) may also include an external control bus ( 728 ) connected to the processor ( 702 ). An external control bus connector ( 730 ) then provides direct accessibility to the external control bus ( 728 ) from outside the multifunction slice.
