Software download for a subscriber terminal of a wireless te lecommunications system

摘要

Software is down-loaded from a central station of a wireless telecommunications system to a remote subscriber station for configuring the remote subscriber station to permit wireless connection of user telecommunications equipment at the remote subscriber station to the central station. A multi-layer down-load protocol includes a number of independent protocol layers, preferably operating a master-slave configuration. Each layer controls respective sequence numbers to ensure system integrity. Control software is arranged with a device independent boot-strap and a set of device specific external service parameters to provide portability.
