1. A system for providing wireless backhaul in a wireless radio access network having an overall allocated access band for access communication, the system comprising:
a radio access base station configured for out-of-band backhaul, the radio access base station including an access transceiver configured to transmit and receive access communications between the radio access base station and a mobile station over an allocated frequency channel within the overall allocated access band; and a first in-band backhaul unit coupled to the radio access base station, wherein the first in-band backhaul unit is configured to:
transmit and receive in-band backhaul communications for the radio access base station between the first in-band backhaul unit and a remote second in-band backhaul unit; anddynamically coordinate the transmission and reception of the in-band backhaul communications with a transmission and reception of the access communications, wherein the in-band backhaul communications are transmitted or received on a gated slot allocated for measurements or broadcast communications during which there are no cellular access communications, and wherein a radio frame timing is synchronized between the radio access base station and the first in-band backhaul unit. |
