Abstract
A mobile communication device may include a storage element and a baseband processing component operatively coupled to the storage element. The baseband processing component may generate representations of one or more symbols, provide the representations of the one or more symbols through an interface to a buffer element to process, and reduce communications through the interface to the buffer element during at least a portion of the processing of the representations of the one or more symbols.
