Real-Time Virtualization
Multiple Execution Environments on a Single CPU Platform
Provide Reliability, Availability and Performance
Core phone services
- Critical applications in closed partition, isolated from 3rd party multimedia stacks
- Re-use existing modem software stack with its RTOS (no changes)
- Real-time intensive services (eg, codecs) on real-time OS
Multimedia services

Security thru Virtualization
Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) controls Open Application Execution Environment
Provide Reliability, Availability and Trust
Security, availability and management services run in TEE, isolated from application OS
- authentication, access control, SIMlocking
- filtering, crypto,
- auditing, logging,
- software watchdog, Hot restart
- updates, patching, OS upgrade with fall back to previous version in case of failure
