ABSTRACT:
Facile changing and updating of a first module (101) of a platform (100) is achieved despite the fact that a parameter required for execution of the first module depends both upon which version of the first module (101) and which version of a second module (102) is included in the platform. Reconfiguration of the platform occasioned by the changing and/or updating of the first module is facilitated by having both the first module and a second module maintain respective pre-revision parameter arrays (111, 112) for the multi-module dependent parameter. The pre-revision parameter arrays comprises sets of parameter candidate values for plural combinations of versions of the first module and versions of the second module. When one of the first module and the second module is to become a revised module by replacement with a new version (e.g., the new version of the revised module), a revised parameter array (111′) is also provided for the revised module. After reconfiguration, one of the parameter candidate values in the third set of parameter candidate values is selected as qualifying as an appropriate parameter value for use in conjunction with the modules of the platform. In an example implementation, one of the first module and the second module can be a hardware module while the other of the first module and the second module is a software module. Moreover, one example environment of implementation is a telecommunications platform, such as (for example) a node of a radio access network (RAN).
