Rightsizing Software Stacks

A process for right-sizing a software stack includes: identifying a first wireless communications node (1WCN) for a wireless communications system (WCS) that includes a second wireless communications node (2WCN), obtaining a first adaptive software stack (1ASS) which configures the Device to communicate data to a Destination using the 1WCN, and determining if the 1ASS optimizes the Device for the communicating of the data with the Destination via the 1WCN. If not optimized, a second adaptive software stack (2ASS) may be obtained and a determination made as to whether the 2ASS second optimizes the Device. At least one of the 1ASS and the 2ASS may be implemented and the Device is coupled with the 1WCN by a communications links. A first application may be selected and executed. During software execution application data may be communicated with the Destination using the 1WCN and the as implemented 1ASS or 2ASS.
