Abstract
Methods for a mobile device restarting subsystem software on a schedule that reduces the likelihood of subsystem failures without requiring a general system restart or impacting other subsystems. The mobile device may calculate a restart time window during which a first subsystem may be restarted efficiently and prior to the occurrence of software failures. Upon initialization of the first subsystem, a restart timer may be established which indicates the period since a previous restart of the first subsystem. Once the restart timer indicates a time within the restart time window, the mobile device may transmit request messages to other subsystems dependent upon the first subsystem. In response to a unanimous vote by the other subsystems or the restart timer exceeding the time restart window, the mobile device may restart the first subsystem. In an aspect, the mobile device may transmit the request messages at an increasing rate.
