Introduction The present document provides a feasibility study on creating a reference architecture for such mobile devices which are c
16、apable to use technological elements known as Software Defined Radio. Such mobile devices will operate as functional elements in reconfigurable radio systems by using multiple different radio standards simultaneously. As a feasibility study the present document provides basis for decision making at
17、ETSI Board level on standardization of some or all topics of the SDR Reference Architecture for Mobile Device. ETSI ETSI TR 102 680 V1.1.1 (2009-03) 51 Scope The present document describes the reference architecture for SDR equipped mobile devices, which allows them to operate as part of reconfigura
18、ble radio systems. The reference architecture is outlined in the present document to the extent which is necessary to identify architectural elements (components and interfaces) as candidates for further standardization. As a basis for the reference architecture common requirements for such a SDR mo
19、bile device are also in the scope of the present document. Since the feasibility of standardization of architectural elements for SDR mobile devices also depends on already standardized or ongoing activities on such architectural elements the present document also provides a survey on SDR standardiz
20、ation in other SDOs. 2 References References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific.

43、mited to radio chipset vendors, mobile device manufacturers and network operators. These requirements have been taken into account in the reference architecture described in the present document. Requirements discussed below are categorized into 5 groups: 1) General architectural requirements. 2) Ca
44、pability requirements. 3) Operational requirements. 4) Interface requirements. 5) Other requirements. The potential business relationships between different mobile device SDR stakeholders are illustrated in figure 1. Figure 1: Future SDR value network With the introduction of the SDR technology the
45、radio chipset vendors will become responsible for integration of complete radio computers. They may use separate manufacturing companies (semiconductor foundries) and integrate also IP blocks from other semiconductor vendors e.g. outer modem HW accelerators. Such radio computers, which may include s
46、ome built-in radio applications, are provided as radio platforms to mobile device manufacturers. Mobile device manufacturers develop their consumer products, like mobile phones, multimedia computers and PDA devices, which use the radio computers as subsystems for communications purposes. Mobile devi
47、ce manufacturer may also choose to implement itself some radio applications into the radio computer platform. While radios continue to be used for multiple different purposes and new radio technologies continue to emerge development of radio applications as software entities may become a business of
48、 itself. Such radio application providers may develop and market their radio applications to multiple radio computer vendors and mobile device manufacturers. This kind of value network may also allow some software companies to become radio software tool vendors having multiple radio developer compan
49、ies as their customers. From the regulatory point of view the mobile device manufacturer remains responsible of all radio equipment functionality embedded into its consumer market product.
