Patent ID: 8503469

Claim:
A device in a mobile terminal for providing network access in accordance with at least one layered network access technology that includes layer 1 processes and layer 2 processes, the device comprising: a shared memory configured to store at least layer 1 data and layer 2 data; a memory access component coupled to the shared memory and comprising a first client port configured to receive memory access requests from a layer 1 processing client, which processes radio transmission- or reception-related data, and a second client port configured to receive memory access requests from a layer 2 processing client, which processes radio-control related data, wherein the memory access component is configured to serve a memory access request from the layer 1 processing client with a lower priority than a memory access request from the layer 2 processing client; and a memory interface between the layer 1 processing client and the first client port, wherein the memory interface includes at least one first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer to temporarily store a low priority memory access request until the low memory access request can be served.
