<p>This invention presents a cellular network in which base-stations (100) are placed at a centralized location and RF transceivers (107, 108, 109, 110) are located in remote cells (111). In such a system, the base-stations (100) serve the function of providing the cellular communication channels, while the RF transceivers (107, 108, 109, 110) provide the RF coverage for those channels. The base-stations (100) are in communication with the remote cells (11) via optical fibers (103), and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) (101) is advantageously employed to transmit information on the optical fibers (103). The cellular network of the present invention provides many advantages over the prior art cellular networks, notably in its efficiency, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to dynamically manage the traffic capacity according to the traffic demand.</p> |
