Abstract: Software defined radio equipment is provided. The equipment includes a software defined radio emission/reception radio sub-system, a primary software defined radio application and a secondary software defined radio application capable of interfacing with the radio emission/reception sub-system. The primary software defined radio application is a telecommunications application and the secondary software defined radio application is a cognitive radio application. A software defined radio emission/reception radio sub-system is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system comprising a software platform for deploying components on computation units that are limited in processing capability. The host platform offers a core framework means of deploying and executing components on the computation units, said means comprising: a means for loading and/or unloading the object code of a component on a computation unit, a means for executing and/or stopping said component, a means for invoking the functions of said component, a means for connecting and/or disconnecting a deployed component to and from other components. The invention applies notably to the reconfiguration of equipment based on embedded computers with real-time constraints, in particular for software radios.
