VERIFICATION OF SOFTWARE RECONFIGURATION PLATFORMS

SDR technology has significantly matured and it becomes an increasingly important tool enabling the interlinking between, and the interoperation of, different wireless technologies. SDR technologies facilitate easy to use and they support adaptive communication platforms. However, the standard compliance and system’s correct functioning are generally the most critical problems and they need to be ensured. Addressing compliance and correct functionality, software and configuration verification and validation techniques are required. These techniques will need to be agreed and standardised to facilitate interoperability between different types of reconfigurable platforms and systems. This paper provides an overview of the influencing factors and shows some direction and examples of how such interoperability can be achieved.
