Abstract:
1. An apparatus for adaptive multimedia transmission and reception, the apparatus comprising: a network interface; a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, a first computational element of the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements having a first fixed architecture and a second computational element of the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements having a second, different fixed architecture; and an interconnection network coupled to the network interface and to the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, the interconnection network adapted, in response to first configuration information, to configure a first plurality of input and output data connections among the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements for a first media functional mode of a plurality of media functional modes, and the interconnection network further adapted, in response to second configuration information, to configure a second plurality of input and output data connections among the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements for a second, different media functional mode of the plurality of media functional modes, the plurality of media functional modes comprising an acquisition mode and a traffic mode, the traffic mode including a voice reception mode, a voice transmission mode and a control processing mode, the control processing mode processing a plurality of GSM control channels including a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a frequency-correction channel, a synchronization channel (SCH), a plurality of common control channels (CCCH), a slow associated control channels (SACCH), and a fast associated control channel (FACCH).
