First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus configured to receive a signal in accordance with a protocol stack that contains a physical layer, a MAC layer, a control layer and a stream layer, comprising:
- a receiver stack processing system configured to provide the control and steam layers;
a media processing system configured to provide the physical and MAC layers; and
an application programming interface (API) to support communication between the receiver stack processing system and the media processing system;
wherein said receiver stack processing system is configured to invoke said API to instruct said media processing system to replace a current set of signal acquisition parameters currently used by said media processing system for signal acquisition with an initial set of signal acquisition parameters that was initially provisioned for said media processing system to use for signal acquisition.

Abstract
A signal may be received in accordance with a protocol stack having a first portion (400) that contains a control layer and a stream layer, and a second portion (401) that contains a physical layer and a MAC layer. The first portion may invoke an application program interface (API 1402) to instruct the second portion to replace a current set of signal acquisition parameters with an initial set of signal acquisition parameters.

16. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions executable by one or more processors in an apparatus, the apparatus being configured to receive a signal in accordance with a protocol stack that contains a physical layer, a MAC layer, a control layer and a stream layer, the physical layer and the MAC layer implemented with a media processing system, and the control layer and the stream layer implemented with a receiver stack processing system, the instructions comprising:
-
a receiver stack code segment to implement the receiver stack processing system; and an application programming interface (API) code segment that implements an API to support communication between the receiver stack processing system and the media processing system; wherein the receiver stack processing system invokes said API to instruct the media processing system to replace a current set of signal acquisition parameters currently used by the media processing system for signal acquisition with an initial set of signal acquisition parameters that was initially provisioned for the media processing system to use for signal acquisition. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
