1. A method comprising:
- determining whether information is to be transmitted via a radio frequency (RF) bus that supports direct intra-device communication between at least three circuits in a millimeter wave frequency band, wherein the information comprises at least one of;
voice signals;
audio signals;
video signals;
data;
text; and
graphics;
when the information is to be transmitted via the RF bus, determining whether the RF bus is available, identifying a target of the information, and determining that the target is accessible via the RF bus;
when the target is accessible via the RF bus and the RF bus is available, converting the information into RF bus signal, securing access to the RF bus, and transmitting the RF bus signal via the RF bus after access to the RF bus is secured.

Abstract
A method includes determining whether information is to be transmitted via a radio frequency (RF) bus that supports direct intra-device communication between at least three circuits in a millimeter wave frequency band. When the information is to be transmitted via the RF bus, the method determines whether the RF bus is available. When the RF bus is available, the information is converted into RF bus signal, access to the RF bus is secured, and after access to the RF bus is secured, the RF bus signal is transmitted via the RF bus.

11. A method comprising:
-
determining whether information is to be received via a radio frequency (RF) bus that supports direct intra-device communication between at least three circuits in a millimeter wave frequency band; when the information is to be received via the RF bus, determining access parameters to the RF bus for receiving the information; accessing the RF bus in accordance with the access parameters to receive an RF bus signal; and converting the RF bus signal into an up-converted signal in accordance with an RF transmission setting; down-converting the an up-converted signal into one of;
a baseband and near baseband symbol stream; andconverting one of;
the baseband and near baseband symbol stream, into information, wherein the information comprises at least one of;
voice signals;
audio signals;
video signals;
data;
text; and
