Hardware acceleration for WWAN technologies

A processor configured to decipher packetized data in a telecommunications signal with a hyper frame number, and configured to execute instructions for:

• determining the hyper frame number;
• testing for a mismatched hyper frame number, wherein if a mismatched hyper frame number is found, reconstructing data that was deciphered with the mismatched hyper frame number;
• deciphering the data using a correct hyper frame number;
• and
• copying the deciphered data to an external memory after the correct hyper frame number is utilized, where a reduction in copying data to the external memory is achieved when a mismatched hyper frame number is detected.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium that includes code for deciphering packetized data in a telecommunications signal with a hyper frame number, the code comprising:
• code for causing a computer to determine the hyper frame number;
• code for causing a computer to test for a mismatched hyper frame number, wherein if a mismatched hyper frame number is found;
• code for causing a computer to reconstruct data that was deciphered with the mismatched hyper frame number;
• and
• code for causing a computer to decipher the data using a correct hyper frame number;
• and
• code for causing a computer to copy the deciphered data to an external memory after the correct hyper frame number is utilized, where a reduction in copying data to the external memory is achieved when a mismatched hyper frame number is detected.
