Abstract
A method for managing software in a code division multiple access (CDMA) base station system of a personal communication system (PCS) includes the step of setting a processor type to each processor in the base station system, where each processor type is a string of bits including a plurality of bits equal to 0 and one bit equal to 1. Similar processor types have an identical string of bits and dissimilar processor types differ in that bit positions equal to 1 do not overlap. A software type is set to each software in the base station system, where each software type is a string of bits including a plurality of bits equal to 0 and at least one bit equal to 1. Each software corresponds to at least one processor by having a bit equal to 1 located in the same position as the bit equal to 1 in the processor type string. Software is downloaded to a download requesting processor when the result of an AND operation between the bit position of the processor type equal to 1 and the corresponding bit position of the software type equals 1.
