AUTONOMOUS PROXIMITY-BASED STANDBY MODE SWITCHING REMOTE ANTENNA UNIT

摘要

A broadband wireless mobile communication system for high a speed mobile transportation corridor and methods for operating such a system are disclosed, including a base station and remote antenna units distributed along the corridor and sectors of the respective base station communicating with the base station via radio over fiber. An autonomous sensing remote antenna unit structured is used as one or more of the remote antenna units, which toggles between standby and active modes in response to locally sensed presence of one or both of a mobile transceiver and a vehicle along the corridor.
