Abstract: Generic devices, systems and methods for multiple radio access technologies (RATs) are described. Arrangements can include, for example, a processor configured to execute procedures associated with different radio access technologies (RATs), a radio planner function configured to receive requests for radio resources from the procedures and further configured to selectively grant or deny radio access by the procedures in response to the requests, and a memory device configured to operate as a distributed data base to store data produced by at least one of the procedures and to provide the data to at least one other of the procedures.

Abstract: Generic devices, systems and methods for multiple radio access technologies (RATs) are described. An arrangement can include, for example, 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 the procedures implement the transceiver processing functions through functional units (FUs) which perform 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 instruct an FU regarding at least one of: (a) from which memory location to fetch data to operate upon or parameters associated with an operation to be performed by the FU, (b) to which memory location to store data as a result of an operation and (c) a message type to output after the operation.

Abstract: Generic devices, systems and methods for multiple radio access technologies (RATs) are described. A platform for allocating radio resources among a plurality of radio access technology (RAT) modules can include, for example, radio hardware configured to transmit and receive radio signals over an air interface using the plurality of RATs; and a radio planner connected to the radio hardware and configured to receive radio time reservation requests, each of which requests includes a priority value for the radio time reservation request, and to determine whether to grant or deny each of the radio time reservation requests based at least in part on the priority values.

Abstract: A technique for estimating current consumption of an electronic device such that current consumed during reception of bursts is utilized in calculating the remaining battery power. By determining the time duration of each reception burst and the charge consumed during each burst, the total charge consumed by the reception bursts is calculated. The total charge calculated is used to determine the remaining battery power.
