发明名称 Intelligent backhaul system
摘要 A intelligent backhaul system is disclosed to manage and control multiple intelligent backhaul radios within a geographic zone. The intelligent backhaul system includes multiple intelligent backhaul radios (IBRs) that are able to function in both obstructed and unobstructed line of sight propagation conditions, one or more intelligent backhaul controllers (IBCs) connecting the IBRs with other network elements, and an intelligent backhaul management system (IBMS). The IBMS may include a private and/or public server and/or agents in one or more IBRs or IBCs.

主权项 1. An intelligent backhaul system comprising: a plurality of intelligent backhaul radios, each of the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios comprising: a plurality of receive RF chains;one or more transmit RF chains;an antenna array comprising a plurality of directive gain antenna elements, wherein each directive gain antenna element is couplable to at least one receive RF or transmit RF chain;a radio resource controller, wherein the radio resource controller sets or causes to be set a certain RF carrier frequency or channel bandwidth for at least one of the receive or transmit RF chains;an interface bridge configured to couple the intelligent backhaul radio to a data network, the interface bridge comprising one or more Ethernet interfaces to couple the interface bridge to the data network, the interface bridge multiplexing and buffering the one or more Ethernet interfaces; anda media access controller to exchange data to and from the data network via coupling to at least the interface bridge and to and from at least one other intelligent backhaul radio, wherein one or more of the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios comprises an intelligent backhaul management system agent coupled to the radio resource controller, and wherein said intelligent backhaul management system agent sets or causes to be set certain policies related to the RF carrier frequency or channel bandwidth for at least one of the receive or transmit RF chains; and a server in communication with the intelligent backhaul management system agent within at least one of the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios, wherein the server is configured to manage or control at least one of the plurality of intelligent backhaul radios.
