A processor (210) within the reconfigurable resource performs a software program in accordance with the operation, such as a waveform for communicating via a spread spectrum technique. The method includes the steps of checking (304) for a valid license granted to the radio to determine when the radio is authorized for use in the network. A controller (204) configures the radio to perform the operation based on the information.Other References
