Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to partitioning a time-division-based communications link for communicating multiple types of communications signals in a wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS is configured to communicate multiple types of communications signals over a time-division-based communications link. For example, the WDS may be configured to communicate a digital baseband signal as a first type of communications signal and an Ethernet signal as a second type of communications signal. In this regard, a protocols division routing circuit(s) is provided in the WDS and configured to partition the time-division-based communications link between multiple types of communications signals based on a link configuration ratio. By partitioning the time-division-based communications link based on the link configuration ratio, it is possible to partition the time-division-based communications link according to actual capacity needs of the multiple types of communications signals, thus optimizing throughput and performance of the WDS.
