A method for factoring energy intensity of data transmissions between a user equipment (UE) and a network, in order to take into account the energy intensity of data transmissions between the UE and the network, includes the UE receiving an energy intensity indication, the energy intensity indication being related to at least one radio access technology for communicating data. A radio access technology is selected by the UE based on energy intensity indication and energy priority information, where the energy intensity indication refers to the energy intensity of data transmissions between the UE and the network in terms of energy per data volume transmitted, energy per bandwidth used, or energy per latency realized.

In a method for configuring a Software Defined Radio (SDR) capable user equipment, the SDR capable user equipment wirelessly loads an SDR program from a radio access network. The SDR capable user equipment executes the loaded SDR program, the SDR program on execution configuring the SDR capable user equipment to support a desired wireless communication technology. The SDR capable user equipment loads the SDR program using a dedicated SDR configuration channel, the dedicated SDR configuration channel being disjoint with any communication channel defined by the desired wireless communication technology. The SDR capable user equipment scans a predetermined frequency spectrum searching a broadcasted beacon. The SDR capable user equipment receives the broadcasted beacon and tunes to the dedicated SDR configuration channel or a subchannel thereof pointed to by a pointer for loading the SDR program.
