Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for management and arbitration of dedicated mobile communication resources for mobile applications are provided. Mobile applications can be given a priority level that establishes an importance with respect to one or more other mobile applications and at least one mobile resource. If competing applications attempt to access the mobile resource concurrently, access can be provided to an application having higher priority level. Furthermore, control of a resource can be taken away from an application having lower priority in order to affect control of such resource for a higher priority application. In one aspect, a privilege code of an application can be verified prior to establishing control of the resource for the application, to mitigate a likelihood of inappropriate transfer of resources. Accordingly, the subject disclosure provides for management of dedicated resources for a mobile processing environment to effect important device functions with minimum delay.
