ABSTRACT:
Network architecture and a method for configuring a reconfigurable radio terminal, including a communication network and at least one radio terminal belonging to said communication network. The architecture further includes a node connected to the communication network and includes operating software modules suitable to reconfigure the radio terminal through an over-the-air connection and transparently to the communication network.
