  • Method of communications between and within virtual radio interface standard layers
    Patent number: 5363315
    Abstract: In radio processing control (11), a plurality of architectural layers (270, 290, 390) separate at least one of a plurality of tasks (272) from another task (292). For communicating among the tasks within (274, 276, 278) or across (229, 239) the layers, a buffer (300) for each of the tasks is provided by a communication resource (602). A messaging protocol for passing information from the tasks is defined to be a predefined information packet having a header (700) preceding any optional data. A flag portion (701) of the header designates the information as intralayer or interlayer. If the information is interlayer (229, 239), an identifier portion (703, 704) of the header identifies the source (272) of the information and an operation portion (702) identifies an operation code.
