Abstract
A dynamically adaptable communications processor includes a memory element, which includes executable content, and a control element, coupled with the memory element, that selectively implements the executable content to modify the dynamically adaptable communications processor to process data based, at least in part, on a type of communication channel from which the data is received.
Claims30
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory element including executable content;
- and
- a control element, coupled with the memory element, to selectively implement the executable content to modify the apparatus to process data based, at least in part, on a type of communication channel from which the data is received.
A method comprising:
- receiving data from a type of communication channel;
- determining the type of communication channel;
- retrieving configuration information corresponding to the type of communication channel;
- becoming configured based, at least in part, on the configuration information;
- and
- processing the data in accordance with the type of communication channel.
3 more elements
The method of claim 13, wherein generating the processing parameter comprises:
- performing an operation on content of the data;
- collecting the outputs resulting from the operation;
- and
- selecting one or more of the outputs in accordance with an algorithm for generating the processing parameter, based at least in part, on the type of communication channel.
1 more element
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a machine-accessible medium including thereon sequences of instructions that, when executed, cause an electronic system to:
- receive data from a type of communication channel;
- determine the type of communication channel;
- retrieve configuration information corresponding to the type of communication channel;
- become configured based, at least in part, on the configuration information;
- and
- process the data in accordance with the type of communication channel.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- a receive buffer to receive data from a communication channel;
- a communications processor, coupled with the receive buffer, to determine a type of communication channel from which the receive buffer receives the data, retrieve configuration information corresponding to the type of communication channel, configure itself based on the configuration information, and process the data based at least in part on the type of communication channel from which the data is received.
A method comprising:
- iteratively receiving data from each of a plurality of communication channels, each communication channel having an associated communication protocol;
- and
- dynamically configuring a communications processor to process the received data in accordance with a communication protocol of a selected communication channel.
