Method for operating a user station in a cellular communication system
First Claim
1. A method of operating a user station in a cellular communications system, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining amounts of each of a plurality of operating resources to be allocated to each of a plurality of applications for running on said user station, wherein said plurality of operating resources comprises at least one processing resource and at least one cellular communications resource; and
allocating determined amounts of said operating resources to said applications such that one of a cellular communication resource is allocated in response to a processing resource and a processing resource is allocated in response to a cellular communication resource;
wherein the step of determining comprises assessing, using historical data obtained by said user station from an external source and derived from previous use of at least one of said plurality of applications by a plurality of user stations, that application'"'"'s requirement with respect to at least one of said processing resources in association with its requirement with respect to said at least one of cellular communications resources.

Abstract
A method of operating a user station in a cellular communications system. The method relates to determining and allocating a plurality of operating resources, including at least one processing resource and at least one cellular communications resource, to a plurality of applications. The method includes assessing application requirements with respect to the processing resources in association with the application'"'"'s requirements with respect to the cellular communications resources. Also described is corresponding apparatus for operating a user station. Also described is a storage medium storing processor-implementable instructions and a signal carrying processor-implementable instructions.
