Whitepaper on Software Radio Reconfiguration

Even after years of extensive research into Software Defined Radio, the technology has not had the
expected impact. Solutions on offer often have limited scope for optimization. They may require
complete redesign of radio architectures. Or they may present potential security weaknesses. In many
cases, they are suitable for niche applications, but not for the commercial mass-market. ETSI has developed a framework which enables reconfiguration of wireless equipment through software. The technology is flexible in that original hardwired components may selectively be reparameterized or replaced by software components. Therefore it is applicable to software-only as well as hybrid platforms and enables a gradual roll-out of software reconfiguration in devices. The solution is designed to address technical, security and regulatory challenges, being tailored to the needs of the new Radio Equipment Directive.
