DEPLOYMENT OF DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LAYER PROTOCOLLS IN A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

This invention relates to a method, a system, a base station, a base station hub (41) and software applications for data transmission between at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) and a radio network controller (40) in a radio access network, said method comprising operating a first-type physical layer protocol (46) for a transmission of said data between said at least one base station (42- 1, 42-2) and a base station hub (41) ; operating a second-type physical layer protocol (47) for a transmission of said data between said base station hub (41) and said radio network controller (40) ; wherein said data comprises user data (340) that is transmitted between said radio network controller (40) and said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) via said base station hub (41) ; and wherein said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) performs at least base band processing for signals that are transmitted via a radio interface (7) and represent said user data (340) .
