According to the presently disclosed subject matter there is provided a wireless device system-architecture and a wireless device including a plurality of functional layers each of the functional layers comprising one or more respective layer elements where the plurality of functional layers being operatively connected and ordered as a cascade of functional layers for data-transfer from one layer to its one or more adjacent functional layers. The architecture further includes one or more matrix-switches, each matrix-switch operatively connected between each two functional layers in the cascade of functional layers. A matrix-switch controller is operable to determine at least two processing routes for data-transfer from at least one layer element in one functional layer, to at least one layer element in a second functional layer, wherein each of the at least two processing routes is associated with a different application processor layer element and wherein data is being transmitted via the at least two proces
