Abstract

The transmitter receives information on a computing architecture of a receiver. A controller in the transmitter forms and transmits receiver-specific instructions based on data to be delivered and the information on the computing architecture. The controller in the receiver controls processing of the data on the basis of the instructions.

Claims

1. A wireless transmission method for delivering data, the method comprising:

transmitting, at a transmitter configured to receive information associated with computing architecture of a receiver, receiver-specific instructions based on data to be delivered to the receiver and information associated with computing architecture of the receiver to control the receiver during processing of the data, the transmitter being configured to deliver the data and receiver-specific instructions to the receiver;

receiving, at the receiver, the data and receiver-specific instructions based on information representing computing architecture of the receiver to control the receiver during processing of the data, the receiver being configured to input the data to a decoding engine associated with the receiver, the decoding engine being defined in the receiver-specific instructions; and

controlling, by the receiver, processing of the data on the basis of the receiver-specific instructions.

2. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising processing including controlling the operation of decoding engines of the receiver by the instructions.

3. The method of claim 2, the method further comprising decoding a sequence of the data at a moment defined in the receiver-specific instructions.

4. The method of claim 2, the method further comprising inputting each sequence of the data to a receiver'"'"'s decoding engine defined in the receiver-specific instructions.

5. The method of claim 4, the method further comprising decoding each sequence of the data by a receiver'"'"'s decoding engine defined in the receiver-specific instructions, the engine being defined on the basis of the performance of the engine.

6. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising receiving data stream by a user terminal as the receiver and controlling a handover of the user terminal by the instructions during data reception.

7. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising receiving, by a receiver, a request of a computing architecture of a receiver;

and

transmitting information on the computing architecture from the receiver.

8. A receiver for a wireless transmission system, the receiver being configured to receive data and receiver-specific instructions from a transmitter based on information representing computing architecture of the receiver to control the receiver during processing of the data, the receiver being configured to input the data to a decoding engine associated with the receiver, the decoding engine being defined in the receiver-specific instructions, the receiver comprising a controller to control processing of the data on the basis of the receiver-specific instructions.

9. The receiver of claim 8, the receiver being further configured to receive a data stream and receiver-specific instructions with the data stream from the transmitter.

10. The receiver of claim 8, the instructions including definition about an engine for a sequence of data on the basis of the performance of the engine.

11. The receiver of claim 8, the receiver being further configured to receive a request of a computing architecture of a receiver from a transmitter;

and to transmit information on the computing architecture to a transmitter.

12. A wireless transmission system, the system comprising

a transmitter;

and

a receiver, the transmitter being configured to receive information associated with computing architecture of the receiver, the transmitter comprising a controller to generate receiver-specific instructions based on data to be delivered to the receiver and the information associated with computing architecture of the receiver to control the receiver during processing of the data, the transmitter being configured to deliver the data and receiver-specific instructions to the receiver, the receiver being configured to receive the data and receiver-specific instructions based on information representing computing architecture of the receiver to control the receiver during processing of the data, the receiver being configured to input the data to a decoding engine associated with the receiver, the decoding engine being defined in the receiver-specific instructions, the receiver comprising a controller for controlling the data processing on the basis of the receiver-specific instructions.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the receiver comprises decoding engines and the processing includes controlling of the operation of decoding engines of the receiver by the instructions.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein each decoding engine is configured to decode a sequence of the data at a moment defined in the receiver-specific instructions.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the receiver is configured to input each sequence of the data to a receiver'"'"'s decoding engine defined in the receiver-specific instructions.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the transmitter is configured to define an engine for a sequence of data on the basis of the performance of the engine.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the transmitter being configured to request a computing architecture from a radio access network;

the radio access network is configured to transmit information on the computing architecture as a response to the request.

18. The system of claim 12, wherein the transmitter being configured to request a computing architecture from a receiver;

the receiver is configured to transmit information on the computing architecture as a response to the request.

19. The system of claim 12, wherein the receiver is a user terminal in a radio system and a handover of the user terminal is controlled by the instructions during data reception.
