A METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A RADIO TERMINAL THROUGH A RADIO COMMUNICATION NETWORK, RELATED NETWORK AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREFOR

摘要

A method for configuring a re-configurable radio terminal through a communication network operating according to a communication system, wherein the radio terminal is configured for exchanging information with at least one node of the communication network by using the communicating system. The method being characterized by the steps of associating to the one node of the communication network a server entity (OTA-Server) configured for using a protocol layer (RR, GMM) of the communication system and including a set of operating software modules for configuring the radio terminal (UE/MS) with at least one set of elements of a protocol stack suitable to reconfigure the radio terminal (MS); associating to the radio terminal (MS) a client entity (OTA-Client), configured for using a respective protocol layer corresponding to the protocol layer (RR, GMM) of the server entity (OTA-Server); establishing on over-the-air connection between the radio terminal (UE/MS) and the server (OTA-Server) entity by using the protocol layer; and downloading at least one module of the set of operating software modules from the server (OTA-Server) to the radio terminal (UE/MS) for configuring at least in part the radio terminal (UE/MS).
