Mobile communication device having multiple independent optimized physical layers

A mobile communication device comprising:

• a first PHY layer comprising first circuitry optimized in a first manner to provide a first communication service through a first communication network;
• and
• a second PHY layer, operable independent of the first PHY layer, comprising second circuitry optimized in a second manner, different from the first manner, to provide a second communication service through the first communication network.

A mobile communication device comprising:

• a first PHY layer comprising first circuitry optimized in a first manner to provide a first communication service through a first communication network;
• and
• a second PHY layer optimized in a second manner, different from the first manner, to provide a second communication service through a second communication network.

In a mobile communication device having a first PHY layer comprising first circuitry operable to provide any of at least a first plurality of communication services through one or more types of communication network, and a second PHY layer comprising second circuitry operable, independent of the first PHY layer, to provide at least one communication service through one or more types of communication network, a method comprising:

• optimizing operation of the first circuitry in a first manner for providing a first communication service of the first plurality of communication services;
• and
• optimizing operation of the first circuitry in a second manner, different from the first manner, for providing a second communication service of the first plurality of communication services.

A method, substantially as shown and described with respect to at least the previous description, for utilizing multiple independent optimized physical layers to provide communication services.
