Patent ID: 8213974

Claim:
A method of sequencing radio events in a mobile device, said mobile device adapted for a Downlink Dual Carrier (DLDC), said mobile device comprising a processor, a single timing control unit (TCU) and two or more radio devices, each of said radio devices comprising a receiver, said two or more radio devices enabling said mobile device to simultaneously receive data on two or more different frequency channels, said TCU interfacing between said processor and said two or more radio devices, each of said radio events comprises one or more executable instructions for said TCU and whereby said TCU is configured to execute said radio events one at a time to generate one or more commands to control at least one of said two or more radio devices, said method comprising: said processor collecting said radio events corresponding to said two or more radio devices; said processor sorting said radio events from highest priority to lowest priority to form a sorted list; said processor optimizing said sorted list, forming an optimized sorted list, using one or more rules that are stored in an optimization rules database; said processor loading said optimized sorted list, beginning with a highest priority radio event, onto said TCU; and wherein said radio events are grouped into one or more time sequences, and said optimization rules database contains a rule that if two or more radio events are identical and are in a given time sequence, then only one of said identical radio events is selected for execution.
