Communication Profiles for SDR Equipment

This paper summaries and categories the information elements important for defining communication profiles of all relevant actors in a mobile communication scenario, where the information elements include Terminal, User, Service and Network Profiles. Those context information described by the profiles need to be retrieved before the decision process will be started for negotiation air interfaces for SDR Terminal or any other terminal adaptation. To efficiently reduce the signaling overhead, profiles data are dynamically clustered in classmarks by meaningful criteria. Under dynamic classmarks we understand the efficient coding of temporary clusters for profile data. Dynamic classmarks capture all the features of the information entities in an abstract and succinct manner. An XML structure is used for the profiles that reflect the different properties of a terminal, user, network or services.
