Abstract

The processing of tasks in a mobile communication terminal that contains two or more microprocessors is disclosed. The processing rate of tasks is increased by redistribution of the tasks between the microprocessors as a function of the operating mode. Particularly in situations in which no conversation and/or no other type of payload signal transmission is taking place, tasks may be redistributed from the application processor to the modem processor and/or to the DSP, so that applications such as compression and/or decompression of video data can be processed more quickly.
