Scene setting As we look beyond the Third
Generation of Mobile Communications, we can
initially perceive the convergence towards an
IP-based core network and ubiquitous, seamless
access between 2G, 3G, broadband and broadcast
wireless access schemes, augmented by
self-organizing network schemes and short-range
connectivity between intelligent communicating
appliances . In this composite radio
environment where several highly standardized
legacy radio transport schemes exist, one
inherent goal would is to develop reconfigurable
network and terminal techniques to enable
interworking and so to deliver diverse and
exciting applications using the most appropriate
radio access scheme(s).

• Objectives
• User demands and requirements for a network
  infrastructure supporting terminal
  re-configuration are assessed. Proxy
  reconfiguration functions are elaborated and
  analysed in the network and dependent on the
  network infrastructure. The infrastructure has to
  provide support for several functions, in
  particular for enabling distributed profile
  management, mode negotiation and mode switching
  decision making, efficient strategies for
  user-centric mode selection based on context
  information, and ensuring QoS of software
  download. Terminal-centric support functions as
  terminal re-configuration manager are presented.
  Further is addressed Management of mapping of
  software on the hardware platform. Security and
  safety functions. Management of run-time
  insertion, removal, and configuration of software
  and the modules running on SDR hardware platform
  through Operating System and Hardware Abstraction
  Layer (HAL) de-correlating HW platform from
  application software, Development of
  object-oriented approach for platform design and
  realization.
