Abstract

An integrated base station provides uplink and downlink wireless connectivity between user equipment and a wireless communication network. In order to accommodate certain features of the network, a bypass switch of the integrated base station is employed so that the baseband module of the base station is bypassed as to those features. In this case, selected data obtained from the RF transceiver of the integrated base station is processed by equipment in the back end system instead of by the baseband module. A first operation mode enables the baseband module to process the selected data, while a second operation mode bypasses the baseband module so that the back end system performs the processing. The bypass switch may be permanently activated. The bypass process allows for processing of the selected data in an efficient manner without requiring replacement of the integrated base station, thereby providing an efficient and cost-effective solution.
