Systems and methods for reordering data received from a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs)

An electronic device, comprising:

• a modem processor configured to receive a first set of data packets via a first radio access technology (RAT), to receive a second set of data packets via a second radio access technology (RAT), wherein the first set of data packets and the second set of data packets are from a data stream, to provide at least a portion of the first set of data packets or at least a portion of the second set of data packets to an application processor, to determine a first reordering information or a second reordering information based on sequence numbering of the portion of the first set of data packets or of the portion of the second set of data packets, wherein the first reordering information or the second reordering information comprises one or more completion events, and to provide the first reordering information for the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the second reordering information for the at least the portion of the second set of data packets to the application processor, wherein the first reordering information or the second reordering information is sent in an order for packet consumption by the application processor;
• and
• application processor memory configured to buffer the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets to offload modem memory while the modem processor determines an order of the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets, wherein the application processor is configured to reorder the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets based on the first reordering information or the second reordering information provided by the modem processor.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising:

• code for causing an electronic device to receive, by a modem processor, a first set of data packets via a first radio access technology (RAT);
• code for causing the electronic device to receive, by the modem processor, a second set of data packets via a second radio access technology (RAT), wherein the first set of data packets and the second set of data packets are from a data stream;
• code for causing the electronic device to provide, by the modem processor, at least a portion of the first set of data packets or at least a portion of the second set of data packets to an application processor;
• code for causing the electronic device to buffer, in application processor memory, the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets to offload modem memory while the modem processor determines an order of the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets;
• code for causing the electronic device to determine, by the modem processor, a first reordering information or a second reordering information based on sequence numbering of the portion of the first set of data packets or of the portion of the second set of data packets, wherein the first reordering information or the second reordering information comprises one or more completion events;
• code for causing the electronic device to provide, by the modem processor, the first reordering information for the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the second reordering information for the at least the portion of the second set of data packets to the application processor, wherein the first reordering information or the second reordering information is sent in an order for packet consumption by the application processor;
• and
• code for causing the electronic device to reorder, by the application processor, the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets based on the first reordering information or the second reordering information provided by the modem processor.

An apparatus, comprising:

• modem processing means for receiving a first set of data packets via a first radio access technology (RAT), for receiving a second set of data packets via a second radio access technology (RAT), wherein the first set of data packets and the second set of data packets are from a data stream, for providing at least a portion of the first set of data packets or at least a portion of the second set of data packets to an application processing means, for determining a first reordering information or a second reordering information based on sequence numbering of the portion of the first set of data packets or of the portion of the second set of data packets, wherein the first reordering information or the second reordering information comprises one or more completion events, and for providing the first reordering information for the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the second reordering information for the at least the portion of the second set of data packets to the application processor, wherein the first reordering information or the second reordering information is sent in an order for packet consumption by the application processor;
• and
• application processing memory means for buffering the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets to offload modem memory means while the modem processor means determines an order of the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets, wherein the application processing means reorders the at least the portion of the first set of data packets or the at least the portion of the second set of data packets based on the first reordering information or the second reordering information provided by the modem processing means.
