Abstract:
1. An arrangement comprising: a multiple radio access technology (RAT) platform configured to enable communications with a plurality of different RATs using procedures associated with transceiver processing functions; wherein said procedures implement said transceiver processing functions through functional units (FUs) which perform predetermined operations, the FUs being implemented in at least one of hardware and software; and wherein the FUs are configured by functional unit descriptors (FUDs) which add to a predetermined operation to be performed by an FU at least one of pre-instructions executed before the predetermined operation and specifying: (a) from which memory location to fetch data to operate upon or parameters associated with the predetermined operation to be performed by the FU, and/or (b) to which memory location to store data as a result of the predetermined operation, and post-instructions executed after the predetermined operation and specifying a message type to output after the predetermined operation, wherein each FUD includes a first information associated with one or more memory locations for its associated FU to use, a second information associated with one or more messages its associated FU sends after processing a message, and a third information associated with parameters for setup of the associated FU.
