Abstract
Alternative software architectures for a dual mode wireless communication device and methods of use are provided for efficient and effective use of the processor and memory capabilities of first and second air interface processors on a dual mode wireless communication device. The alternative architectures efficiently distribute a plurality of operational modules across the processors for efficient dual mode operation of a dual mode wireless communication device. Procedures for transitioning into a second air interface mode from a first air interface mode and vice versa are also disclosed. These seamless transitions can be based on user preferences and/or real time environmental variables such as signal strength or availability.
