<p>The present invention relates to protocol stacks and protocol layers within protocol stacks especially, but not exclusively, for communications terminals such as mobile phones, lap top computers and base stations. The present invention provides a method of providing a communications protocol for processing a signal in a processing apparatus having a processor and memory, the protocol defined by a plurality of protocol layers, the method comprising loading a software module into the memory, the module arranged to receive and process the signal according to a set of generic functions corresponding to one of the layers, the module comprising generic function pointers corresponding to the generic functions in a function mapping object, loading the function mapping object into the memory, the object comprising apparatus specific function pointers corresponding to the generic functions in order to map the generic function to one or more apparatus specific functions, executing the module according to the mapped apparatus specific functions in order to process received signals according to the protocol layer.</p> |
