Abstract
The denotation Software (Defined) Radio (SDR) comprises a multi-band radio capable of supporting multiple air interfaces and protocols. Unfortunately, most contributions to SDR focus on the radio aspects of different mobile communication systems and concentrate on finding respective solutions to be integrated in the SDR concept. However, one should not forget that systems do not only differ in the way of transmission, but also in the protocol stacks that come into operation. Therefore, the following paper will concentrate on the upper layers (referring to the ISO/OSI model) of mobile communication systems. In the paper, a generic protocol stack that comprises the main characteristics of miscellaneous mobile radio systems will be introduced. This stack subsequently shall form the kernel of a so called Adaptive Terminal (AdapTer), a handset that is able to operate within different radio systems.
