Embodiment Construction

[0032] The preferred embodiment of the present invention introduces the concept of communication and storage devices to which user SDR terminals can be operatively connected. This device (hereinafter referred to as a Personal Wireless Assistant (PRA)) advantageously facilitates software, applications and / or software, applications and / or applications that are stored in the PRA in compliance with the SDR configuration profile, or to be downloaded to the PRA and thereafter uploaded (updated) to the SDR or characteristics. The SDR configuration profile preferably includes the user's service, network, terminal and / or location profiles. The PRA device preferably has selectable connections to several remote information databases, eg via ADSL / modem, Ethernet or WLAN to the Internet. In this manner, the PRA (or SDR user) selects the preferred communication link for the particular software to be downloaded.

Abstract

A method (200, 300) of downloading software to a software definable radio (105) includes the steps of determining (305) one or more configuration profile change(s), for example a service required by, or a location of, or an available network to, said software definable radio (105) and / or a software definable radio user profile and / or terminal profile. Software is downloaded (320, 340) to an intermediate communication unit, in response to the determination, which then re-configures the software definable radio (105). In particular, or in the alternative, the method may include determining (330) a number of communication links for downloading the software and selecting at least one of the links to be used to download (340) software to the software definable radio (105). A communication unit (120) and a distributed software definable radio re-configuration management mechanism are also described. <??>In this manner, an improved mechanism for software download is provided, whereby functionality of the software definable radio is placed in a personal radio assistance device. Furthermore, the user is provided with improved options in the download process.

Description

technical field [0001] Generally, the present invention relates to adaptive user equipment software or data downloading. The present invention is applicable to, but not limited to, software definable wireless terminals for use with, for example, next generation cellular communication systems. Background technique [0002] In the next generation of mobile communication systems, mobile subscriber units will be able to access information sources, such as the Internet, directly using packet-switched bearers across the air interface and via wired or optical communication networks. For this purpose, different types of user communication units can be used, such as mobile phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs) with wireless communication capabilities. Increasingly, mobile users are via different types of fixed or wireless access networks, such as cellular wireless communication networks (e.g. Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks, HiperLAN / 2 or IEEE 802.1...
