Abstract:
1. An apparatus for signal processing, comprising: (a) a component that enables communication of a received signal and a transmitted signal with a node; (b) a plurality of class processors for processing a data flow associated with the transmitted signal and another data flow associated with the received signal, wherein at least one of the class processors is configured for processing a portion of at least one of the data flows associated with the transmitted signal and the received signal, and wherein at least one of the class processors is configurable to perform the processing of the portion of the data flows at a different speed than at least one of the other class processors that is configurable to perform processing of another portion of the data flows; and (c) a host processor that is in communication with the plurality of class processors, wherein the other data flow associated with the received signal is provided to the host processor after processing by at least one of the plurality of class processors, and wherein the data flow associated with the transmitted signal is provided by the host processor to the plurality of class processors for processing and communication of the transmitted signal to the node.
