Abstract:
A GSM transceiver unit, for use in a GSM network, having a multilayer protocol stack including a hardware layer controlling communications to and from hardware, a first portable layer configuring the hardware layer and controlling communications to and from the hardware layer and second and third portable layers controlling communications to and from the first portable layer and utilize services provided by the first portable layer for communications with the GSM network, the communications with the GSM network being time multiplexed into frames each having a fixed time duration and with each frame being divided into multiple segments each containing a plurality of bits comprising:a plurality of dynamics description parameters containing at least one frame delay with each frame delay representing an integer multiple of the fixed time duration for a particular instruction to be scheduled in one of the frames and containing at least one frame advance with each frame advance representing an integer multiple of the fixed time duration for a particular instruction to be scheduled in one of the frames;the first portable layer having at least one scheduler, each scheduler being responsive to the dynamics description parameters, for scheduling instructions in the frames with each instruction being either delayed or advanced by the at least one scheduler by an integer multiple of the fixed time duration for that instruction contained in the dynamics description parameters; andthe hardware including at least one processor for executing code implementing the at least one scheduler.
