1. An apparatus for the dynamic allocation of processing resources of a host processor by a communication device, wherein the communication device comprises a plurality of data transfer-related operations and at least one non-data transfer operation, and wherein the apparatus comprises a host processor that comprises:

  • a complexity controller that controls the allocation of the amount of processing resources between the plurality of data transfer-related operations and the at least one non-data transfer operation by determining to execute at least one data transfer-related operation of the plurality of data transfer-related operations; and

    a processing unit, coupled to the complexity controller, that executes the at least one data transfer-related operation of the plurality of data transfer-related operation based on the determination to execute at least one data transfer-related operation.
