Today’s vehicles are increasing doubling as mobile devices, using data from cellular networks for navigation and to download real-time traffic information, map updates, while vehicle manufacturers are increasingly providing remote diagnostics and software updates. However, the complete lifecycle of a vehicle is significantly longer than that of a mobile device, so many of the vehicles being made today will still be used well into the 5G era.
ETSI’s Technical Committee for Reconfigurable Radio Systems claims to have developed a system which can help solve this and similar issues. Its Software Radio Reconfiguration model “provides a modular and scalable solution to the challenge of deploying and using software radio systems”. The solution, described in a recent ETSI white paper and in the EN 303 146 series of European Standards, according to ETSI, “allows a gradual and stepwise deployment of software reconfigurable radio”.
ETSI claims that its Software Radio Reconfiguration model provides solutions to the following issues:
The standards body will host a webinar on this subject, on 8 December 2017. Registration is open on the ETSI webinar channel.
