Abstract: A digital signal processor performs despread decoding in wireless telephone systems. Orthogonal codes are used to combine data signals into one overall coded signal which is transmitted. The orthogonal codes are used to retrieve individual data signals from the transmitted overall coded signal. Despread instructions are included in the digital signal processor functionality.

Abstract: A method for configuring a communication system is described. The method includes, for each of a plurality of requests in a communication protocol between a client and a server, estimating values for a plurality of attributes associated with the request, and computing a resource usage estimate, based on a plurality of the estimated attributes, that represents resources used by the communication protocol in response to the request. The method also includes determining at least one group of two or more requests to combine into a combined request based on the respective resource usage estimates for the requests to be combined, and storing a program module for executing the communication protocol including instructions for processing the combined requests.

Abstract: A method for configuring an application comprises receiving information that specifies a set of multiple states with which the application is associated during execution; receiving information that specifies whether each of one or more program modules is active during respective states, at least some of the program modules having multiple instantiations configured to execute with different performance characteristics; receiving information that specifies performance characteristics associated with the multiple instantiations for each of at least some program modules that have multiple instantiations; and selecting one of the instantiations for each program module that has multiple instantiations based on at least one performance criterion associated with the application that depends on whether the program modules are active in respective states.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and product for use in generating a remainder based code generates a plurality of preliminary remainder based codes in response to specified data, and synthesizing a remainder based code for the specified data, in response to the plurality of preliminary remainder based codes. In one embodiment, the plurality of preliminary remainder based codes includes at least two preliminary remainder based codes each generated in response to a respective portion of the specified data. In another embodiment, at least two preliminary remainder based codes are generated at least partially concurrently with one another.

Abstract: A digital signal processor performs path search calculations for a Rake receiver. Despread operations are performed for multiple relative delays over a subcorrelation length by shifting either received chips or code chips for each relative delay. The result of a despread operation for a relative delay is added to the result of previous despread operations of the same delay performed on prior subcorrelation lengths. These calculations are performed in response to a single instruction. By issuing multiple instructions, path search calculations are performed for the entire correlation length.
