MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR WIRELESS MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device comprising:
- a network platform processor configured to communicate with a particular wireless communication network; and
a device platform processor that is not compliant with the particular wireless communication network and that is configured to;
generate control data and messages;
send, using a first communication protocol, the control data to the network platform processor to control operation of the network platform processor; and
send, using a second communication protocol different than the first communication protocol, the messages to the network platform processor for the network platform processor to wirelessly transmit the messages over the particular communication network.

Abstract
A wireless mobile communication device includes a first processor configured to execute a software application and a second processor configured to manage wireless communication over a wireless network. The processors are located in the same communication device and configured for one of the processors to send data to the other processor under a protocol. In accordance with this protocol, if the sending processor does not receive a receipt acknowledgement for the sent data from the other processor before the end of a resend time period measured from when the data was sent, then the sending processor resends the data to the other processor after the end of the resend time period. However, the sending processor does receive the acknowledgement before the end of the resend time period, then the sending processor does not resend the data to the other processor.

12. A method performed by a device platform processor of a mobile communication device for communicating with a network platform processor of the mobile communication device, the network platform processor being configured to communicate with a particular wireless communication network, and the device platform processor being noncompliant with the particular wireless communication network, the method comprising:
-
generating control data and messages; sending, using a first communication protocol, the control data to the network platform processor to control operation of the network platform processor; and sending, using a second communication protocol different than the first communication protocol, the messages to the network platform processor for the network platform processor to wirelessly transmit the messages over the particular communication network. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A mobile communication device comprising:
-
a first processor; and a second processor configured to communicate with the first processor through a wired link that is within the mobile communication device, and further configured to; receive an incoming data packet from the first processor; delay sending a packet-received acknowledgement to the first processor until the second processor sends an outgoing data packet to the first processor for a purpose other than the acknowledgement, and include the acknowledgement with the outgoing data packet.
