Claim One:
1. A radio equipment, comprising: a memory to store a Radio Virtual Machine (RVM); and a processor coupled to the memory to run the RVM to form a software execution environment comprising a selectable RVM class of a plurality of RVM classes, the selectable RVM class comprising an associated level of reconfigurability of low-level parameters of the RVM; wherein the level of reconfigurability corresponds to a level of certification to certify the RVM in the event the RVM is reconfigured; wherein the processor is configured to perform the level of certification based on a selected RVM class in response to the RVM being reconfigured; wherein each RVM class of the plurality of RVM classes comprising a corresponding level of reconfigurability of low-level RVM parameters and a corresponding level of certification testing for reconfigured RVMs of the class, and the plurality of RVM classes comprising at least one RVM class comprising full reconfigurability of low-level RVM parameters and at least one RVM class comprising limited reconfigurability of low-level RVM parameters; wherein the at least one RVM class comprising full reconfigurability of low-level RVM parameters further comprises a corresponding relatively thorough level of certification testing of reconfigured RVMs of the class, and wherein the at least one RVM class comprising limited reconfigurability of low-level RVM parameters further comprises a corresponding relatively less thorough level of certification testing of reconfigured RVMs of the class in comparison to the level of certification testing of reconfigured RVMs for the at least one RVM class comprising full reconfigurability of low-level RVM parameters.
