Patent ID: 8923915

Claim:
A software defined radio emission/reception radio sub-system being part of software defined radio equipment, comprising: a radio processing chain, achieving for emission, a transformation of a digitized signal stemming from a software defined radio application into an electromagnetic signal capable of being conveyed by radio media, and vice versa, for reception, the transformation of the electromagnetic signal stemming from the radio media into the digitized signal capable of being processed by a software defined application; a software control module capable of driving said radio processing chain while strictly observing primary control requests from the software defined radio application, also called a primary software defined application, the software defined radio emission/reception radio sub-system being capable of processing secondary requests from at least one other software defined radio application also called a secondary software defined radio application, independent of the primary software defined radio application; the software control module including: a receiver receiving at least one of the secondary control requests of the secondary software defined radio application, a determiner determining at least one primary inactivity period of said radio processing chain corresponding to non-use of said radio processing chain according to the primary control requests emitted by the primary software defined radio application, and an activator activating via an interface said radio processing chain so as to satisfy for a determined primary inactivity period the at least one secondary control request emitted by the secondary software defined radio application.
