Future of wireless communication: RadioApps and related security and radio computer framework

This paper introduces a novel flexible Mobile Device Reconfiguration Classes (MDRCs) framework which is expected to be applicable to future generation mass market radio devices. This framework sets the scene for a vision of a smooth evolution of reconfigurability features in mobile devices, paving the way from current, mainly static implementation choices towards a fully flexible device platform environment. For this flexible Mobile Device framework, Base-Band interfaces are introduced as they are currently discussed in European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS) standardization. Furthermore, this technical solution is positioned with respect to security requirements and the basic regulatory framework which is currently under revision in Europe. Indeed, the future revised R&TTE Directive is expected to allow for such advanced reconfiguration, enabling Users to acquire and install so-called “RadioApps” software components which may affect the compliance of a Mobile Device to the essential requirements of the Directive
