RF functions can be effectively realized as open systems. Application of open system architecture (OSA) principles must be done at the function level, encompassing both software and hardware. Building upon the generic open architecture foundation, the additional layers necessary for RF function realization have been defined. The RF technical architecture is described with reference model that identifies the functional partitioning and key interfaces that embody the OSA approach. Realization of these key interfaces is described, and an example integrated sensor system application presented. This technical architecture approach is described in a formal draft specification that has been prepared for the OS-JTF to provide guidelines to developers of RF open systems.
