Abstract:

A radio transceiver comprises one or more hardware resources, e.g. a processor; memory; a peripheral device; an algorithmic hardware accelerator; and/or a radio frequency component. A cellular communication radio is operable in an active mode in which it has access to the one or more hardware resources for transmitting and/or receiving cellular communication signals, and an inactive mode in which it does not. A global navigation satellite systems radio, arranged to use the one or more hardware resources to receive positioning signals, has access to the one or more hardware resources only when the cellular communication radio is operated in the inactive mode.
