A cellular mobile station including a modem processor and memory. The memory includes instructions for the modem processor to perform layerprocessor operations, layerprocessor operations, and layerprocessor operations. The modem processor executes the instructions to perform processor operations for the cellular mobile station to communication data as per a cellular communications protocol. In one example, the mobile station includes different levels of memory to provide different deterministic access times.

A cellular mobile station including a modem processor and memory. The memory includes instructions for the modem processor to perform layer 1 processor operations, layer 2 processor operations, and layer 3 processor operations. The modem processor executes the instructions to perform processor operations for the cellular mobile station to communication data as per a cellular communications protocol. In one example, the mobile station includes different levels of memory to provide different deterministic access times.

A method and apparatus for entering a low power mode is provided. In one embodiment, data processing system () has power control circuitry () which may be used to control power usage in data processing system (). Power mode select circuitry () may be used to select a power mode. Depending upon the power mode selected, power control circuitry () may use a cascaded approach to selecting which portions of data processing system () will be powered down, and thus how deeply data processing system () will be powered down.
