Abstract
A wireless communication device monitors a radio frequency (RF) resource for a signal from a remote terminal. The wireless communications device detects the absence of the signal in the monitored RF resource. If the signal is not present in the RF resource, the wireless communications device reallocates processing resources reserved to process the signal to process data from another remote terminal.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- allocating processing resources to process an RF signal burst from a remote terminal on an uplink transmission carrier, the RF signal burst comprising a traffic channel burst from the remote terminal;
- determining whether a portion of the processing resources are available to process other data;
- and
- reallocating the portion of processing resources to process the other data when the portion of processing resources are determined to be available, wherein reallocating the portion of processing resources comprises reallocating the portion of processing resources into two or more sub-portions of processing resources including at least a first sub-portion of processing resources to process a random access burst from a second remote terminal and a second sub-portion of processing resources to process the other data.
