Mobile Software Telecommunications

Telecommunications is shifting from anytime, anywhere to anytime, anywhere, any way, any speed, whatever. This requires a revolution in flexibility by going from today’s pre-defined networks and services to a new user-centric software-based creation of wireless communications and services. This creation of wireless communications and services on demand requires a new paradigm in network design based on software radio systems in base stations and terminals. A minimum specification air interface is proposed as the backbone and operating system of future wireless networks. It allows for network access and connectivity, and a programming shell for setting up communications traffic channels. Its flexibility allows for the integration of existing wireless standards and systems as well as freely defining software programmed air interfaces and services on demand. Software telecommunications is the final step of paradigm shift from standards bodies and companies defining what consumers/customers supposedly need, to a customer-centric approach by giving the customer all the means to create what he really wants/needs.
