System and method for sharing RF signal processing

A system for dynamically sharing radio frequency (RF) front end resources comprising:

• a data processor for hosting and executing a general purpose application and receiving an RF task via an RF signal;
• a plurality of RF front end resources, each including an RF converter, an amplifier and an antenna for receiving or transmitting the RF signal and enhancing the RF signal;
• a plurality of signal processors for processing an RF signal and scheduling utilization of the plurality of RF front end resources, wherein a number of the plurality of RF front end resources is smaller than a number of the plurality of signal processors;
• a digital platform interface (DPIF) for performing real-time resource arbitration and generating control data to share the RF front end resources by dynamically selecting and configuring the RF front end resources responsive to the RF task received by the data processor, wherein the data processor selects a signal processor for technique generation based on availability of one or more of the plurality of signal processors, wherein the selected signal processor makes a request to the DPIF for an RF front end resource allocation, and wherein the DPIF grants an RF front end resource to the selected signal processor to receive or transmit the RF signal.
