Method to increase the mean time between failures and proactively re-start the software in a multi-sub-system mobile communication device

摘要

Without requiring a reboot of the general system or other without affecting the subsystem, the mobile device to lower the probability of subsystem failures, restarts the software subsystem on a schedule, methods for. The mobile device may first sub-system may be restarted before the efficiently and the occurrence of software faults, and calculates the restart interval. The first subsystem is initialized, it restarts the timer indicating the time period from the previous restart of the first sub-system can be established. When restarting the timer indicates the time within the restart time interval, the mobile device may send a request message to the other subsystems that depend on the first subsystem. In response to the vote unanimous with other subsystems, or restart the timer has exceeded the restart time interval, the mobile device can re-start the first sub-system. In some embodiments, the mobile device may send a request message at a higher rate.
