The scope of the present document is to define an information model and protocol for unified radio application interface

for mobile device reconfiguration. The work is based on the Use Cases defined in ETSI TR 102 944 [i.1], on the system

requirements defined in ETSI EN 302 969 [1] and on the radio reconfiguration related architecture for mobile devices

defined in ETSI EN 303 095 [i.2] and on the mobile device information models and protocols related Multiradio

For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:

association: logical communication link to a Radio Access Network or a peer equipment

NOTE 1: Typically, some control signalling is necessary to maintain the association. No user data transfer may

occur with only an association present, but a data flow may be established into an association for this

NOTE 2: Peer equipment is any communication counterpart of a reconfigurable mobile device. It can be reached by

establishing a logical communication link (i.e. an association) between the reconfigurable mobile device

channel: designated part of the information transfer capability having specified characteristics, provided at the user

NOTE: It is the over-the-air wireless propagation channel which is used to convey an information signal from

communication services layer: layer related to communication services supporting generic applications

NOTE: A communication services layer supports generic applications like Internet access. In the present

document, it consists of Administrator, Mobility Policy Manager (MPM), Networking stack and Monitor.

link: connection from one location to another through a given Radio Access Technology for the purpose of transmitting

Radio Application (RA): software which enforces the generation of the transmit RF signals or the decoding of the

NOTE 1: The Software is executed on a particular radio platform or an RVM as part of the radio platform.

NOTE 2: RAs might have different forms of representation. They are represented as:

 source codes including Radio Library calls of Radio Library native implementation and Radio HAL

 IRs including Radio Library calls of Radio Library native implementation and radio HAL calls;

radio computer: part of mobile device hardware working under ROS control and on which RAs are executed

NOTE: A Radio Computer typically includes programmable processors, hardware accelerators, peripherals, etc.

Radio Control Framework (RCF): control framework which, as a part of the OS, extends OS capabilities in terms of

NOTE: RCF is a control framework which consists of Configuration Manager (CM), Radio Connection Manager

(RCM), Flow Controller (FC) and Multiradio Controller (MRC). The Resource Manager (RM) is

A reconfigurable MD is capable of running multiple radios simultaneously and of changing the set of radios by loading

new Radio Application Package (RAP). All Radio Applications (RAs) are called Unified Radio Applications (URAs)

when they exhibit a common behaviour from the reconfigurable MD's point of view [i.2]. In order to run multiple

URAs, the reconfigurable MD will include Communication Services Layer (CSL), Radio Control Framework (RCF),
