A wireless device having processor circuitry; and a hardware circuit configured to implement, during an active steady-state of a Medium Access Control/Link Layer (MAC/LL) with scheduled channel access, a MAC/LL function without processor circuitry intervention, wherein the steady-state is a state that is control packet transmission free for managed connections in connection oriented communications or a continuous broadcast or scan operation in connectionless communications.

Offloading MAC/link layer functions

A digital on-die-test engine (OTE) generates stimuli signals for an analog/RF circuit, where the OTE is embedded within the circuitry. The stimuli signals are injected into the circuit, feed through the circuit, and are received back into the OTE for analysis. The OTE includes an input subsystem to receive signals from various locations throughout the circuit. The received signals are sub-sampled before being tested. The OTE includes memory-aware and memory-less algorithms for testing the signals. The OTE is capable of changing the configuration of the circuit, where needed, following the tests.
