Abstract
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 is characterized by the steps of associating with the one node of the communication network a server entity configured for using a protocol layer of the communication system and including a set of operating software modules for configuring the radio terminal with at least one set of elements of protocol stack suitable to reconfigure the radio terminal; associating with the radio terminal a client entity configured for using a respective protocol layer corresponding to the protocol layer of the server entity, establishing an over-the-air connection between the radio terminal and the server entity by using the protocol layer, and downloading at least one module of the set of operating software modules from the server to the radio terminal configuring at least in part the radio terminal.

43. A method for configuring at least one re-configurable radio terminal belonging to a communication network being operative according to a communications system comprising at least one protocol layer, wherein said radio terminal is configured for exchanging information with at least one node of said communication network by using said communication system comprising the steps of:
-
associating with said at least one node of said communication network a server entity configured for using said protocol layer and comprising a set of operating software modules for configuring said radio terminal user equipment/mobile station with at least one set of elements of a protocol stack suitable to reconfigure said radio terminal mobile station; associating with said radio terminal mobile station a client entity configured for using a respective protocol layer corresponding to said protocol layer of said server entity; establishing an over-the-air connection between said radio terminal user equipment/mobile station and said server by using said protocol layer; and downloading at least one module of said set of operating software modules from said server to said radio terminal user equipment/mobile station for configuring at least in part said radio terminal user equipment/mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)
