Physical layer interface system and method for a wireless communication system

摘要

Physical layer interface system for use in a broadband wireless access communication network is provided. The broadband wireless access communication network comprises a base station, a subscriber station and a wireless communication link for transmitting wireless communication signals upstream and downstream between the base station and the subscriber station. The physical interface system comprises a first physical layer interface for the base station for processing the communication signals upstream and downstream between the subscriber station and the base station and a second physical layer interface for processing communication signals upstream and downstream between the subscriber station and the base station. The first physical layer interface transmits downstream transmission of communication signals from the base station to the subscriber station in a burst mode.
