Workshop Background The number of options, both in a given region as well as worldwide for delivery of wireless mobile services has been increasing over the last several years. In addition, there is pressure to move from 2G to 3G to 4G and beyond. This can render existing infrastructure obsolete and result in costly upgrades or wholesale equipment replacement. In addition, frequency allocations and spectral requirements worldwide are not totally harmonized requiring costly customized designs of equipment for regional needs. One approach is to establish flexible basestation designs capable of being adapted to the local requirements with a minimum of equipment change. This flexibility can range from simple plug-in/plug-out of key pieces or, in its most ambitious form, dynamic adaptation to the changing requirements. Significant advances have been made in developing software and baseband systems capable of addressing several of the access format requirements. However, the realization of RF systems and subsystems with sufficient flexibility to respond to these different requirements remains a very difficult challenge.
