System and method for increased wireless communication device performance
First Claim
1. A method of offloading processor functions in a wireless communications device, the method comprising:
- selecting a processor function to be performed for the wireless device;
evaluating the selected processor function to determine whether to offload the processor function;
transmitting a wireless request to a remote processor to perform the offload processor function;
performing the processor function at the remote processor to generate a result;
receiving the result at the wireless device from the remote processor.

Abstract
One way to deliver increased wireless communication device performance without using a higher performance processor is to offload processor functions in a wireless communications device. In one example a wireless device selects a processor function to be performed for the wireless device and evaluates the selected processor function to determine whether to offload the processor function. If it is determined that the processor function can be offloaded the wireless device transmits a wireless request to a remote processor to perform the offload processor function. After performing the processor function at the remote processor and generating a result the wireless device receives the result.
