Abstract
Advances in wireless technologies have resulted in the ability of a wireless communication system to support wireless communications of different standards, e.g., 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi. Different Wireless standards have aspects which are very different from each other. Described in the present disclosure are embodiments of architecture with hardware and software split to allow implementation of different wireless standards along a configurable signal process path. The configurable signal process path comprises software configurable operators that may be configured in a desired level of granularity to load desirable software to process signals of various standards on the same hardware. Embodiments of the disclosed architecture with hybrid hardware and software implementation may improve system operation efficiency and lower system complexity to serve communications across multiple wireless standards.
