Base station processing using SONET links

摘要

Described are a system and method for processing data received at or to be transmitted through a constituent base station. In one example, a digital signal may be generated based upon an RF signal received at the constituent base station. The digital signal may be encapsulated in data frames for transmission in a SONET circuit to a processing station. The processing station may recover the digital signal from received data frames and perform base-band processing on the recovered digital signal.
