Abstract
This paper describes the End-to-End Reconfigurability (E2R IT) research framework and focuses on the current status of the activities inside the consortium. E2R II is a partly funded project inside the Sixth Framework Programme of European Community. The E2R II project is part of a wider program, started with the E2R I project in 2004. Tn this program, concepts and solutions in order to enable, manage and control the end-to-end connectivity in highly heterogeneous environments are developed, taking into account the different Radio Access Technologies potentially aclive (2G/3G cellular, 4G/B3G, IEEE 802.xx. broadcast...). The key objective of the E2R II project is to devise, develop, trial and showcase architectural design of reconfigurable devices and supporting system functions with the aim to offer an extensile set of operational choices to the users, application and service providers, operators, manufacturers and regulators in the context of heterogeneous systems.
