Abstract

A configuration-independent software architecture for implementing a cellular communication network that facilitates communication among a plurality of cellular handsets. The architecture includes a first software functional block for implementing a first set of functions and a second software functional block for implementing a second set of functions. The architecture further includes a configuration-independent linkage block, which has an interface that appears consistent to both the first software functional block and the second software functional block irrespective of a relative position between the second software functional block, the first software functional block, and the configuration-independent linkage block in the cellular communication network. The configuration-independent linkage block facilitates communication between the first software functional block and the second software functional block via the interface utilizing configuration-independent linkage block. Advantageously, the first software functional block, the second software functional block, and the interface remain substantially unchanged when the first software functional block changes its location in the cellular communication network relative to the second software functional block.
