Funny the author calls the code little understood with no peer review, yet when has the baseband processor on your phone crashed? Not nearly as often as the OS. Just because he does not grasp it does not mean it is poorly implemented. It goes through very extensive reliability and interoperability testing. They aren't understood since standards such as LTE are very complex, tying in RF hardware, DSP in ASICs, and software.

He means peer reviewed from a security standpoint. Reliability and interoperability may be related to security but they aren't the same thing.

I'd imagine it does crash occasionally, but we usually don't notice because the main user experience is unaffected.
