Dynamic allocation of microprocessor resources in a wireless communication device

摘要

Microprocessor resources controlling a searching process and other functions in a wireless remote unit are allocated to maintain the link while allowing sufficient microprocessor resources to be allocated to other remote unit functions. A current search rate limit is increase if the microprocessor is not overloaded and the current search rate limit is less than an higher upper limit. The current search rate limit is decreased if the microprocessor is overloaded and the current search rate limit is greater than a lower upper limit. The priority of other tasks is adjusted if the microprocessor is overloaded and the current search rate limit is equal to the lower upper limit.
