Serial base station connection in a mobile communication system

摘要

In a base station controller 20, each of header addition/deletion units 250 through 252 corresponding to base stations serially connected to a shared communication line 60 adds to a communication signal transmitted to a particular base station a header having an address identifier specific to the particular base station to produce a communication signal cell. A cell collection/distribution unit 260 cell-multiplexes the communication signal cells to produce a cell-multiplexed signal which is transmitted through a transmission unit 270 to the base stations serially connected. Each base station checks the headers of the communication signal cells supplied thereto and acquires the communication cell having the address identifier specific to the base station itself. The remaining cells are transferred through the shared communication line to the next base station serially connected. <IMAGE>
