Resource sharing in a telecommunications environment

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A transceiver is designed to share memory and processing power amongst a plurality of transmitter and/or receiver latency paths in a communications transceiver that carries or supports multiple applications. For example the transmitter and/or receiver latency paths of the transceiver can share an interleaver/deinterleaver memory. This allocation can be done based on the data rate latency, BER, impulse noise protection requirements of the application data or information being transported over each latency path or in general any parameter associated with the communications system.
