Abstract
Described herein are a method, system, and computer readable medium for resetting a subsystem of a communication device. The method involves utilizing a subsystem error handler to generate a reset request signal indicating the subsystem has experienced an exception; distributing to a software component, residing externally to the subsystem, a status message indicative of a current state of the subsystem; performing a reset of the subsystem in response to the reset request signal; and rebooting the subsystem. When the subsystem can be reset without performing a system wide reset of the communication device, communication device downtime is reduced, which facilitates a positive user experience.
