Integrated base station for managing multiple simplified radio access points

摘要

There is disclosed an integrated base station (BS) communicatively combined with two or more simplified radio access points (APs). The integrated BS is configured to receive a signal from a backbone/backhaul network and transmits the received signal to the simplified radio APs, route a signal to at least one of the two or more simplified radio APs, and communicate with the two or more simplified radio APs through wireline communication.

1. An integrated base station (BS) communicatively combined with two or more simplified radio access points (APs), wherein the integrated BS is configured to:
receive a signal from a backbone/backhaul network and transmit the received signal to the simplified radio APs; route a signal to at least one of the two or more simplified radio APs; and communicate with the two or more simplified radio APs through wireline communication, wherein the simplified radio APs include a first point which is a simplified radio BS for cellular communication, and a second point which is a simplified wireless local area network AP for wireless local area network communication; a first baseband processing unit configured to convert a signal from the backbone/backhaul network into a symbol for transmission to the first point; a second baseband processing unit configured to convert a signal from the backbone/backhaul network into a symbol for transmission to the second point; and a connection unit configured to allow the signal from the backbone/backhaul network to be transferred to one of the first baseband processing unit and the second baseband processing unit, and wherein the handover management unit controls the connection unit to change a signal processing path for the signal to be transmitted.
