Patent ID: 7187663

Claim:
A portable computer system, comprising: a processor; a multi-mode wireless device on a single substrate coupled to the processor, the device comprising: an analog portion integrated on the substrate, including: a cellular radio core having an analog to digital converter (ADC) configured to receive a radio signal from an antenna, and a short-range wireless transceiver core; and a digital portion integrated on the substrate, including: a reconfigurable logic core coupled to receive converted data from the ADC, the reconfigurable logic core configured to handle a plurality of wireless communication protocols; a plurality of general-purpose processor cores coupled to the reconfigurable logic core; a router coupled to the reconfigurable logic core, the cellular radio core, and the short-range wireless transceiver core to de-correlate data into parallel streams that are not time-correlated and to route packets of data via a first wireless transmission medium and a second wireless transmission medium; and a memory array coupled to the reconfigurable logic core.
