SCALEABLE BASE STATION ARCHITECTURE

摘要

An exemplary base station device includes a plurality of antennas configured to serve a plurality of sectors. A plurality of radios are coupled with the antennas for processing signals communicated on the antennas. One of the radios is coupled with at least one antenna that serves one of the sectors. The same radio is coupled with an antenna in a different one of the sectors. Another radio is coupled with a different one of the antennas in the one sector and at least one other antenna in a different sector. Such an arrangement of radios and antennas provides for at least simplex communication within each sector even if one of the radios fails.
