Abstract
A circuit to detect position signals in a mobile station includes a general-purpose processor to generate instructions for execution of at least one signal detection algorithm and to carry out at least one other function not associated with the signal detection algorithm, special-purpose hardware blocks responsive to the instructions of the general-purpose processor to execute the at least one signal detection algorithm, and at least one of the general-purpose processor and the special-purpose hardware blocks configured to execute at least one efficiency process to optimize performance of the at least one signal detection algorithm. Methods and machine-readable medium implementing the method steps are also disclosed.
