Architectural Concerns in Base Station Development

Abstract

This report presents a catalogue of architectural concerns found to be important to stakeholders within Ericsson’s Bases Station development. The catalogue is based on interviews with software architects, designers, testers, and team leaders within the software development organization of Ericsson’s W-CDMA base station development. It reflects concerns held by a representative sample of engineers (~1% of all project members), but is not a complete inventory of all concerns in base station development.
