LTE BASED WIRELESS BACKHAUL CONNECTION TO CELLULAR NETWORK BASE STATION

摘要

A network node controls a first base station of the cellular network to establish a wireless backhaul connection to a further network node. The wireless backhaul connection is implemented by an LTE radio access technology. Further, the network node routes backhaul data between the wireless backhaul connection and at least one core network of the cellular network. The further network node routes the backhaul data between the wireless backhaul connection and at least one second base station which serves a cell of the cellular network.
