A Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) mobile station architecture consuming
less
power and random access memory (RAM) is presented herein. The mobile station includes
a system timer coprocessor which includes a microsequencer and a microwire for
controlling radio components. Responsive execution of a single instruction by the
microsequencer, the microwire transmits multiple bytes to the radio components.
While the microwire transmits multiple bytes, execution of additional instructions
for the microwire to transmit bytes is prevented by dynamically stalling the microsequencer pipeline.
