Communication processor and communication processing method
First Claim
1. A communication processing apparatus comprising:
- an arithmetic processing section that has a plurality of programmable arithmetic units;
a decision section that determines which operation mode is operated between a normal mode and a transmission subject mode, the operation mode being one of;
(1) only television demodulation, (2) simultaneous television demodulation and a wireless LAN processing, and (3) only wireless LAN processing, the normal mode being a mode in which the simultaneous television demodulation and the wireless LAN processing is performed mainly for a reception processing, and the transmission subject mode being a mode in which the simultaneous television demodulation and the wireless LAN processing is mainly performed for a transmission processing;
a determination section that determines a first processing time in accordance with the operation mode, the first processing time being allowable as an allowable processing time required for a reception processing of an acknowledgement signal in a communication processing;
an allocation section that distributes the plurality of arithmetic units in accordance with the first processing time and allocates an arithmetic resource to each communication scheme represented by the operation mode; and
a resource control section that controls the arithmetic resource using a processing instruction based on said each communication scheme,wherein the transmission subject mode is a mode of an UDP (User Datagram Protocol) operation mode.

Abstract
A communication processor that is compatible with a plurality of communication protocols while limiting increases in circuit scale is provided. The communication processor includes a computational processing circuit resource having a plurality of programmable function units (FUs). An operation mode determination unit determines an operation mode indicating a communication protocol application state. A permitted processing time determination unit determines a permitted processing time in accordance with the determined operation mode. In accordance with the permitted processing time, a resource allocation unit divides the plurality of FUs and allocates computational resources for each communication protocol indicated by the operation mode. A region controller controls the allocated computation resources. The computational processing circuit resource outputs data from after the computational processing at the timing when the computation processing ends.
