1. A configuration-independent software architecture for implementing a cellular communication network, said cellular communication network facilitating communication among a plurality of cellular handsets, comprising:

  • a first software functional block for implementing a first set of functions;

    a second software functional block for implementing a second set of functions; and

    a configuration-independent linkage block having an interface that appears consistent to both said first software functional block and said second software functional block irrespective of a relative position between said second software functional block, said first software functional block, and said configuration-independent linkage block in said cellular communication network, said configuration-independent linkage block facilitating communication between said first software functional block and said second software functional block via said interface utilizing configuration-independent linkage block, wherein said first software functional block, said second software functional block, and said interface remain substantially unchanged when said first software functional block changes its location in the cellular communication network relative to said second software functional block.
