Abstract
A method includes, in a communication device, defining multiple state machines including states and respective state conditions that depend on a set of events. Relative priorities are defined, to be applied among the state machines in scheduling the state machines for execution in response to the events. The events are monitored and the state conditions are evaluated based on the monitored events. The state machines are executed based on the evaluated state conditions using a scheduling order that depends on the priorities.
