| Abstract | Software radio systems are potentially the next main improvement in mobile and wireless communications. The software radio techniques in handset design are facilitated thanks to the technology evolution. The capability of the system to support re-configuration in response to operator requirements is essential if the true potential of mobile communications is to be comprehended. Moreover, user's demands for new applications can be economically met through terminal and service reconfiguration. This paper will investigate how to provide a flexible mobile computing and communication environment, where a user can choose between a WLAN network and a GPRS or a UMTS network, according to his current preference. Recently, a lot of IT industries and customers increased their demand for an "always on" elaboration system (computer, cellular, and even household appliances connected to a communication network). UMTS is a standard conceived for satisfying such demand with a proper trade-off. The delay that UMTS accumulated, clearly advantages the standards currently present in the market, such as IEEE802.11/b, Bluetooth and GPRS. An integration of these standards into a single terminal is necessary to avoid the multiplication of appliances predestinated to a short market lifetime and to a limited and uncertain success. This paper also concerns some issues about the re-configurable terminal for this standards and will provide a possible hardware solution that uses the software radio technology. |
