Interprocessor communication protocol

1. A radio communication device, comprising:

a baseband processor acting as an InterProcessor Communication (IPC) server;

an application processor acting as an IPC client and coupled to the baseband processor; and

the baseband processor and the application processor communicate with each other via an IPC network, each of the IPC server and the IPC client including an IPC stack having:

a presentation manager;

a session manager coupled to the presentation manager;

a device interface coupled to the session manager; and

the IPC client uses the IPC stack to communicate with the IPC server;

wherein the IPC server and the IPC client can switch functions via negotiation to allow the IPC client to become the new IPC server;

wherein the IPC network includes multiple IPC clients and remaining IPC clients of the IPC network are instructed to change the PC address of the IPC server if the IPC client becomes the new IPC server; and

wherein the IPC network allows any processor that adopts the IPC as its interprocessor communication stack to co-exist together and operate as if the two were actually running on the same processor core sharing a common operating system and memory.

2. A radio communication device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the session manager further comprises an IPC router block having a component routing table.

3. A radio communication device as defined in claim 2 , wherein at least one IPC hardware is coupled to the device interface and the device interface abstracts the at least one IPC hardware so that the IPC stack becomes hardware independent.

4. A radio communication device as defined in claim 3 , wherein the device interface includes a channel resource table that links a channel ID to a list of physical channel IDs.
