DIGITAL WIRELESS BASESTATION
First Claim
1. A digital wireless communications basestation programmed with a virtual machine layer which has not been custom written for a specific task but is instead pre-fabricated as a general purpose layer designed to de-couple low MIPS control code from having to interface directly with high MIPS baseband processing algorithms.

Abstract
A digital wireless basestation is disclosed which is programmed with a hardware abstraction layer suitable for enabling one or more baseband processing algorithms to be represented using high level software. Commodity protocols and hardware turn a basestation, previously a highly expensive, vendor-locked, application specific product, into a generic, scalable baseband platform, capable of executing many different modulation standards with simply a change of software. IP is used to connect this device to the backnet, and IP is also used to feed digitised IF to and from third party RF modules, using an open data and control format.

29. A method of designing part or all of a digital wireless basestation device comprising the step of specifying software programmed with a virtual machine layer which has not been custom written for a specific task but is instead pre-fabricated as a general purpose layer designed to de-couple low MIPS control code from having to interface directly with high MIPS processes.
