Abstract: In a first aspect an exemplary embodiment of the invention provides a method that includes instantiating a plurality of radio protocols, operating the plurality of radio protocols with an underlying physical layer, where each instantiation of a same radio protocol is embodied in a same code module and where each instantiation has associated data stored in a memory. The operating of the plurality of radio protocols comprises executing each instantiation of the radio protocols so that a portion of resources are shared between different instantiations of the radio protocols and different instantiations of radio protocols do not interfere with each other.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments of the invention are disclosed for efficient communication between processor units in a multi-core processor integrated circuit architecture. In example embodiments of the invention, a method comprises: storing with a shared inter-core communication unit in a multi-core processor, first data produced by a producer processor core, in a first token memory located at a first memory address of a memory address space; and connecting with the shared inter-core communication unit, the first token memory to a consumer processor core of the multi-core processor, to load the first data from the first token memory into the consumer processor core, in response to a first-type command from the producer processor core.

Abstract: In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for controlling co-existence of multiple radio access units. The method comprises: receiving a scheduling request comprising value information on at least some of radio independent scheduling parameters of a control interface common to a plurality of radio access units, scheduling radio access on the basis of the value information on at least some of the radio independent scheduling parameters, and sending a response to the scheduling request in a given form in accordance with the control interface common to the radio access units.

Abstract: A method for providing portability of partially accelerated signal processing applications may include receiving target information descriptive of accelerated function availability of a target hardware platform, receiving source code for an application and defining functions associated with the application, at least one of the functions being capable of accelerated implementation in the target hardware platform, and causing compiling of an executable code including either an at least partially hardware accelerated implementation or a processor-based implementation based on the target information. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing management of radio operation in a multiradio environment may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a communication in accordance with a protocol associated with a particular radio access technology in which the communication is associated with accessing a hardware resource for radio communication, determine whether the received communication complies with instructions defining parameters associated with providing shared access to hardware resources among a plurality of protocols associated with respective different radio access technologies, and respond to the received communication based on a result of the determining.

Abstract: A method for providing a division of SDR RA into operational states is described. The method includes, in a device which including a plurality of shared device resources and a plurality of RAs, receiving, from a first RA, a request to change a state of the first RA to a requested active state. The requested active state is one of a plurality of potential active states for the first RA and each potential active state has an associated set of device resource requirements. The method also includes determining whether sufficient device resources exist for the requested active state based at least in part on currently allocated device resources. In response to a determination that sufficient device resources exist, the change to the requested active state for the first RA is approved. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
