Abstract

Methods and apparatus for scheduling time sensitive operations among independent processors. In one embodiment, an application processor (AP) determines transmission timing parameters for a baseband processor (BB). Thereafter, the AP can generate and transact generic time-sensitive real-time transport protocol (RTP) data with the BB in time for transmission via a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication stack. In this manner, the AP's scheduler can coordinate/accommodate digital audio tasks within the context of its other tasks (e.g., to enable intelligent sleep and wake-up operation, load balancing, memory usage, and/or any number of other processor management functions).
