Disclosed is a structure for operating a unified radio application for a software defined radio terminal. The structure for operating a unified radio application according to the present invention can be classified into two types depending on whether a configuration code (configcode) of the radio application is constituted by an executable code or implemented in an intermediate representation (IR) code. With the structure for operating a unified radio application according to the present invention, it is possible to develop and distribute a radio application capable of operating on all radio platforms.

Method for operating software defined radio application

Disclosed is a method for distributing, installing and operating software-defined radio-based radio application independent of hardware and a user application. The radio application comprises a radio controller code and a user-defined function block code. A radio application package for distributing and installing the radio application includes pipeline component metadata for constituting a pipeline of the radio application. The user-defined function block code may be provided in the form of an execution code, a source code or an intermediate representation, and the radio controller code and the user-defined function block code may call a standard function block. Accordingly, with the configuration of the radio application of the present invention and the method for distributing, installing and operating the radio application according to the present invention, various wireless communication systems can be used independently of a modem chip just by downloading and installing the radio application.

Method for distributing, installing and executing software-defined radio application

According to the present invention, a software-defined radio terminal apparatus is a software-defined radio terminal apparatus which is adaptively constituted based on radio applications, and may comprise a storage unit, a microprocessor, and a baseband accelerator. The microprocessor reads, from the storage unit, a code, including a radio controller layer and a baseband driver layer, and executes the code, wherein the radio controller layer delivers a control command for controlling the baseband accelerator and information to be transmitted, from an upper layer to the baseband accelerator, and delivers the information received from the baseband accelerator to the upper layer, wherein the baseband driver layer provides interface between the radio controller layer and the baseband accelerator. In addition, the microprocessor is configured to load at least one functional block required for the implementation of a radio application from the storage unit to the baseband accelerator, and the functional block loaded to the baseband accelerator includes a baseband control functional block for controlling the baseband accelerator in real time.
