Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for software reconfiguration of a multi-radio wireless device that includes multiple radio computers. A wireless device may be configured to associate a first application with a first radio computer and a second application with a second radio computer. The second application may perform a different function than the first application. The UE may be configured to exchange, via a multiradio interface, data between a communication services layer of the wireless device and the first and second radio computers. In some instances, the first application may be a safety related application and/or a safety critical related application and the second application may be a non-safety related application and/or a non-safety critical application.
Claims20
A reconfigurable user equipment device (UE), comprising:
- at least one antenna;
- at least two radios, wherein the at least two radios are configured to perform wireless communication using at least one radio access technology (RAT);
- one or more processors coupled to the at least two radios, wherein the one or more processors and the at least two radios are configured to perform communications;
- wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the reconfigurable UE to:
- associate a first application with a first radio of the at least two radios, wherein the first application is a safety related application or a safety critical related application;
- associate a second application with a second radio of the at least two radios, wherein the second application performs a different service than the first application, and wherein the second application is a non-safety related application or a non-safety critical application;
- and
- exchange, via a generalized multiradio interface (gMURI), data between a communication services layer (CSL) of the reconfigurable UE and the first and second radios.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing element in communication with the memory, wherein the processing element is configured to:
- associate a first application with a first radio computer and a second application with a second radio computer, wherein the first application is a safety related application or a safety critical related application, wherein the second application is a non-safety related application or a non-safety critical application, and wherein the second application performs a different function than the first application;
- and
- exchange, via a generalized multiradio interface (gMURI), data between a communication services layer (CSL) and the first and second radio computers.
A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing program instructions executable by processing circuitry to cause a reconfigurable wireless device to:
- associate a first application with a first radio computer and a second application with a second radio computer, wherein the first application performs a safety associated service, and wherein the second application performs a non-safety associated service, wherein the first application is a safety related application or a safety critical related application, and wherein the second application is a non-safety related application or a non-safety critical application;
- and
- exchange, via a generalized multiradio interface (gMURI), data between a communication services layer (CSL) and the first and second radio computers.
