Integrated network management of a software defined radio system

A software defined radio communications network system, the system comprising:

• one or more radio head units;
• one or more radio head interface modules;
• one or more call processing software modules;
• one or more agent modules, wherein one or more of the one or more agent modules are adapted to communicate with one or more of the one or more radio head units, the one or more radio head interface modules, and the one or more call processing software modules;
• and
• a management module.

A method of configuring networked devices for a software defined radio communications network, the method comprising:

• receiving radio signals through one or more radio antennas;
• communicating voice and data streams to one or more radio head interface modules;
• communicating with a call processing software module;
• performing modulation and demodulation of the voice and data streams using one or more air interface standards;
• sending one or more messages from a management module to an agent module;
• and
• altering one or more operating parameters of the one or more radio head interface modules based on the one or more messages.

A method for configuring networked devices for a software defined radio communications network, the method comprising:

• modulating and demodulating digital voice and data streams using one or more air interface standards;
• sending one or more messages from a management module to an agent module;
• and
• altering one or more logical channel RF parameters based on the one or more messages.

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for a method for configuring networked devices for a software defined radio communications network, the method comprising:

• modulating and demodulating digital voice and data streams using one or more air interface standards;
• receiving one or more messages from a management module;
• and
• altering one or more logical channel RF parameters based on the one or more messages.

A communications system, the system comprising:

• means for modulating and demodulating digital voice and data streams using one or more air interface standard;
• means for communicating one or more reconfiguration messages;
• and
• means for altering one or more operating parameters of one or more radio head interface modules based on the one or more reconfiguration messages.
