We begin with the reconfigurable
hardware that has been optimized to handle concurrent and separate wireless standards. This
optimized reconfigurable hardware can potentially have functionality partitioning to accommodate
power restrictions. The drivers will essentially control the functionality partitioning. Since the software
designer would strive to reuse as much software as reasonably possible, middleware is inserted to act as
a liaison between the specific drivers and the wireless protocols that allow the terminal to communicate
to the base station (BS) or access point or another node. Lastly, various applications will be used to provide
the feature rich terminals desired by various consumers. Since concurrent applications will become
more and more mainstream the ability to handle multiple processor threads is essential.
