Abstract: Certain features relate to optimizing the processing of downlink data in a telecommunications system by capturing a downlink data stream and transferring the downlink data to a memory device in parallel. A processing device can capture a first set of downlink data blocks from a base station and store the first set of downlink data blocks to a memory device. Once a sufficient number of downlink data blocks are written to the memory device, the first set of data blocks can be transferred to a digital signal processor. A second set of data blocks can be captured substantially simultaneous to the first set of data blocks being transferred to the digital signal processor. In additional aspects, the second set of data blocks can be processed by the digital signal processor substantially simultaneous to additional data blocks being captured and stored in the memory device.

Abstract: A firmware management method and system provides close control over a firmware development process via a firmware management tool and an archive. The archive can be used to store firmware files containing firmware source code in progress as well as finished source code along with its associated object code. The management tool includes an auditing function and a workflow management function so that the status of each firmware file and the work history of that file can be monitored and stored. By providing a centralized location for firmware source and object code, the tool makes it easier to track and modify firmware code at any stage as well as ensures that the code ultimately sent to a chip manufacturer is the final version of the code.
