Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for using virtual base stations in communication systems. A communication system may comprise a plurality of fixed base stations. A virtual base station may be generated and/or assigned to a fixed base station in the communication system, with the fixed base station emitting signals of the virtual base station. The communication system may also comprise at least one network node, and communication system may be configured to transmit data of the virtual base station between the at least one network node and the assigned fixed base station, and emit signals of the virtual base station from the assigned fixed base station with the transmitted data of the virtual base station. The data of the virtual base station may be transmitted from the network node over multicast and/or broadcast connections, to the assigned fixed base station and to one or more fixed base stations.
