Abstract
A GSM transceiver for use in a GSM network is disclosed. The transceiver includes a multilayer protocol stack for executing a plurality of asynchronous tasks which are encoded with a universal and generic instruction set used for communicating between and synchronizing the tasks; a multitasking operating system having a set of operating system instructions and providing prioritized execution of the tasks by execution of the operating system instructions; an operating system interface causing instructions of the universal instruction set to be carried out by the multitasking operating system so that each universal instruction of the universal instruction set is executed as a sequence of at least one instruction of the operating system instruction set; and at least one processor controlled by the operating system to execute the asynchronous tasks.
