Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing software provisioning of functionality in a wireless communications device. Software-enabling functionality may include systems for granting a license to intellectual property or other pre-embedded functionality within a device. Communications to and from the device may be used to send or receive activation messages and/or licensing messages. Network capabilities may be provisioned using activation messages sent over the network. Activation messages may be sent in-band or out-of-band, for a device connected to the Internet and/or a mobile operator core network. Licenses may be required for any functions or intellectual property present on a given device. Activation may enable logical modules of a system-on-chip (SOC), functions of a software-defined radio (SDR), baseband, or DSP core. The disclosed systems and methods could thereby provide a new, flexible paradigm, namely, “Silicon as a Service (SaaS).”

Abstract translation: 这里描述了用于在无线通信设备中提供功能的软件供应的系统和方法。 启用软件的功能可能包括授予知识产权许可证或设备内其他预嵌入功能的系统。 与设备之间的通信可用于发送或接收激活消息和/或许可消息。 可以使用通过网络发送的激活消息来配置网络功能。 可以针对连接到因特网和/或移动运营商核心网络的设备在带内或带外发送激活消息。 任何给定设备上存在的功能或知识产权可能需要许可证。 激活可以实现片上系统（SOC）的逻辑模块，软件定义无线电（SDR），基带或DSP内核的功能。 所披露的系统和方法可以提供一种新的，灵活的范例，即“硅即服务（SaaS）”。
