Abstract: A system for reducing system latency, MIPS requirements, and power consumption in a wireless communications system includes part of an upper layer stack processing being performed on a controller to relieve a host processor of some data intensive operations. After the initial connection establishment phase in which the controller may retrieve certain information required for data transmission and stores the same locally, the data source may provide data to the controller, such as, without routing the data through the host. The host may be relieved of the data processing that needs to be done while the data is being transferred.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and a methodology for enhancing performance during wireless communications by reducing system latency, MIPS requirements and power consumption. The present invention discloses a system and method of wireless data communication in which part of upper layer stack processing is performed on a controller to relieve a host processor of some data intensive operations. After the initial connection establishment phase in which the controller retrieves certain information required for data transmission and stores the same locally, the data source provides data directly to the controller without routing the data through the host. The host is relieved of the data processing that needs to be done while the data is being transferred. Hence, the overall latency of the system is improved because of the optimal routing of data traffic.
